Chapter 53.9, Problem 1LO
Summary Introduction
To determine: The requirements that evolve by natural selection for the behavior.
Introduction: Natural selection is the mechanism of evolution in which organisms able to survive and reproduce to transmit the genetic traits over generations. The behaviors of the organisms are also included under the natural selection theory such as wiggle dance of worker bees after searching for food.

Clarify the difference between claiming that, a) some behaviours are genetically determined, versus b) some differences among individuals in behavioural phenotype are genetically determined. Are both claims valid in some circumstances? Use any suitable example you know about to justify your answer.
Using the concept of inclusive fitness (and kin selection), explain how altruistic behavior (e.g. where an
individual protects for another, even at their own expense) can evolve by natural selection? Make sure to
explain what inclusive fitness is. (remember the concentric circles on the slide)
Explain frequency-dependent selection in your own words.

Let’s say the House Sparrow. You are interested in whether the species exhibits personality and whether there is selection on personality traits.
