Question
Chapter 42.4, Problem 1TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
According to Hamilton, the altruistic gene is favored by the process of natural selection when rB>CHere, r is the coefficient of relatedness, B is the recipient of the benefits, and C is the cost by the donor. The coefficient of relatedness determines how close the organism is related to another one. This helps in determining if the sacrifice is valuable or not.

- Coloured and white beads were carefully selected for equality of size and shape. Equal quantities of each colour were then placed in a container. Randomly select enough beads to fill the cover of a petri dish. Count the number of beads of each colour and record your data in table 1.6. Then calculate the expected numbers based on the sample size and the known ratio of white to coloured beads. Complete the table and calculate 32.
