From an evolutionary perspective, behavior can best be viewed as: a) a trait that arises by learning, not by natural selection. b) non-heritable. c) a trait subject to drift and mutation, but not natural selection. d) part of the phenotype. e) All of the above are correct.
What is the difference between innate and learned behaviors? a. Innate behaviors can change based on previous experiences, whereas learned behaviors remain the same throughout an organism’s life. b. Innate behaviors are controlled by genes, whereas genes play no role in learned behaviors. c. Innate behaviors allow an organism to adapt to new situations by applying previous experiences, whereas learned behaviors allow an organism to respond quickly. d. Innate behaviors are involuntary responses to stimuli, whereas learned behaviors change based on an organism’s experiences.
