Q

Causes of Behavioral Responses in Animal

A
  • Result of 3 interacting forces
    1. Heredity (Genetics) – Breed
    2. Learning experiences (simple learning)
    3. Intelligence

Q

certain strains/breeds within a species have been selected on a genetic basis and then trained for a specific behavioral response

e.g.
Horses – excellent for trotting, pacing, or draft
Terriers – for fighting at the slightest provocation
Beagles – for hunting and run in packs with little fighting

A

Heredity (Genetics) – Breed

Q

Produces behavioral response in several ways:

A

a. Can affect the growth and development of many body parts
e.g. sensory/motor organs

b. Genes are responsible for production of various enzymes, hormones, and other chemical substances in the body
e.g. chicken undergoes sex reversal depending on the hormones in the blood stream
