A male turkey that imprinted onto a human at hatching is transferred as an older juvenile to a flock of "normal" turkeys. When this turkey reaches sexual maturity, he will probably try to court humans immature male turkeys. male, female, or immature turkeys indiscriminately. mature female turkeys.

The barred plumage pattern in chickens is governed by a dominant sex-linked gene B (non-barred is the recessive phenotype and the recessive allele is designated b). A Barred female is crossed to a non-barred male. What types of offspring will be produced by this cross? Remember that females are the heterogametic sex in birds, so this gene is Z-linked. (a) Barred females and non-barred males (b) Non-barred females and barred males (c) 1:1 barred to non-barred for both sexes (d) 3:1 barred females and 1:1 nonbarred males (e) None of the above

If a male white-crowned sparrow is hatched and reared in isolation but allowed during a critical imprinting period (10 to 50 days after hatching) to hear the song of a male from a different sparrow species, then at maturity, the isolated white-crowned male will...

In wild turkeys, males form coalitions where a dominant and a subordinant male display together, but only the dominant gains any reproductive success. In the study by Krakauer (2005), the threshold coefficient of relatedness under Hamilton’s rule for kin selection to favor altruism in males is r > 0.15. A new study of wild turkey observed a male coalition between the two males shown in the figure (Squares=males, circles=females, A=Actor, R=Recipient). Calculate r. If coalitions were formed by males with this coefficient of relatedness, would altruism evolve? Would males have greater inclusive fitness as a subordinate than as a solo? C< rB
