Behaviors are diverse and important for survival and reproduction. Some behaviors are learned, such as the species-specific song
of a yellow warbler which is different from the song of a blue-winged warbler. Other behaviors are innate, such as a female cat in heat urinating more often and in many places to attract a mate or honeybees do a "dance" that indicates the distance and direction of a food source when they return to their hive. Which of the following statements supports the idea that behaviors are important in survival and therefore affect natural selection? innate behaviors
evolution
the first explanation is proximate causation
As per the question, the 'innate behaviors' support the idea that behaviors play a significant role in the survival and thereby, influence the natural selection. Innate behaviors are elucidated as the inborn ability of an organism to display a particular behavioral response to a specific stimulus. Since these behaviors are genetically inherited and therefore, inflexible; it assists the animals in surviving as they may or may not be exposed to an environment through which they can learn a particular behavior. But <u>these 'inherited' abilities allow them to survive and select naturally even without training or experience(as required in case of learned behavior)</u>. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
