Question
Chapter 51.4, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The justification of the concept of the indirect selection of the genes in an individual, due to the help and aid to the offspring of its sibling.
Concept introduction: The survival of the species depends upon the principles of the “altruistic behavior” and the “inclusive fitness” in the species. The altruistic behavior includes the volunteering of species of animals in assisting other individuals of the same race to raise progeny by mating. These species provide food to the other individuals in the species leading to their survival and mating. It is studied under the kin selection theory.

You are wandering in the Amazon rainforest, when you hear the loud call of an animal. You walk in the direction of the sound, and discover that it is coming from an adorable species of frog. a) What type of adaptation is being displayed by this species of frog? b) Describe how selection could work FOR and AGAINST this adaptation.
 why do females have a greater disadvantage compared to males concerning sexual reproduction? How has this difference between the sex shape sexual selection in general? Choose one form of communication and explain how it is used by competing sex is attracting a mate. 
Suppose an individual organism aids the survival andreproductive success of the offspring of its sibling. Howmight this behavior result in indirect selection for certaingenes carried by that individual?
