15
Q

How can a single gene be responsible for a complex behavior?

A

Stimulus->receptor->Enzyme so a reaction will/will not take place

Called integration

16
Q

Mutants

A

Allow studies to identify genes involved

17
Q

Knockout experiments

A

Reveal roles of specific genes

18
Q

Development and expression of behavior can be controlled by____.

19
Q

Imprinting

A

Animal learns a set of stimuli during a critical/sensitive period, such as recognition of parents and offspring.

20
Q

Example of behavior resulting from inheritance and learning

21
Q

Circadian rhythms

A

Physical, mental, and behavioral changes that follow a rough 24 hour cycle (physiology)

22
Q

In mammals the master circadian clock consists of 2 clusters of neurons called

A

The suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN)

23
Q

Homing

A

The ability To return to a specific location from long distances

24
Anthropomorphism
Applying human characteristics to inanimate objects or non-human entities
25
Behavior is shaped by ____\
Natural selection
26
Cost
Energy , risk, opportunity
27
Altruism
Behavior of an animal that benefits another at it's own expense
28
Inclusive fitness
Kin selection, eusocial, Hamilton's rule
29
Eusocial
A single female produces the offspring and non reproductive individuals help care for the young
30
Hamilton's rule
Cost
31
Touch
Mechanical sensory
32
Smell
Olfactory
33
Kin selection
Cost of helping relatives fitness
34
Inclusive fitness
Includes related individuals
