Gene for altruism is automatically passed on to later generations even if it is so detrimental to an organism's well being.

Altruism involves doing everything selflessly without giving importance to our personal advantage. This type of behavior is somewhat influenced by our genes. If we or generous by nature then this might be the result of our genes.

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

C. Between rai and h

Explanation:

To be able solve this problem, it will be helpful to go and review the two - point mapping data generated for all the three genes that were involved. Putting in to considering that the map distances between jv-h (7.3 mu) and h-th (16.7 mu) equal the sum of the distance between jv-th (24 mu), having been given the distance between th-rai is greater (26.2 mu), the jv gene is said to be located between rai and and h.
