QUESTION 4 Behaviors that are learned easily and by all (or nearly all) individuals in a species are called A. instincts. B. reciprocal altruism. C. prepared learning. D. fixed action patterns. QUESTION 5 Which of the following conditions must be met for reciprocal altruism to evolve? A. The benefits to the recipient must be significantly greater than the costs to the donor. B. The ability to recognize and punish cheaters must exist. C. Repeated interactions among individuals must occur, with opportunities for each individual to be both the donor and the recipient of altruistic-appearing acts. D. The interacting parties must be related to each other. E. Only the first three choices are conditions that must be met for reciprocal altruism to evolve.

So the answer is A. instincts. For question 5, reciprocal altruism is a behavior where individuals help others at a cost to themselves, with the expectation of receiving help in return in the future. In order for reciprocal altruism to evolve, certain conditions Show more…
