Select any and all of the following statements that are true. a. Individual differences in behavior in nature are thought to reflect genetic differences at least in part. b. The effect of genes on behavior is independent of any effect of environment. c. Evolution of behavior by natural selection requires genetic variation in behavior. d. Genes affecting a behavior can have an effect on another trait. e. Behavior tends to be controlled by many genes, each of small effect. f. Genes encode behavior, just as they encode other biological traits.

Which of the following is/are TRUE about innate behaviors? Pick ALL true options. Genes have a large influence on the expression of innate behaviors. Innate behaviors are limited to invertebrate animals with simple nervous systems. Innate behaviors are often learned from the parent. Innate behaviors are influenced by natural selection acting over many generations.

Which statement about the genetics of behavior is true? a. Approximately 20 genes control the courtship displays of male dabbling ducks. b. The loss of a single gene can eliminate male sexual behavior in fruit flies. $c .$ Genes for retrieving, pointing, and herding have been identified in dogs. d. Inherited behaviors are highly modifiable because learning can influence gene expression. $e .$ Hygienic behavior in bees has been shown to be controlled by two dominant genes.
Which of the following is true about the behavior of an organism? A. The behavior of an organism is influenced by both its heredity and its environment. B. The behavior of an organism is influenced only by the traits it inherits from its parents. C. The behavior of an organism is influenced only by the environment in which it lives. D. The behavior of an organism is not influenced by either its heredity or its environment.
