Question

A young animal with no offspring of her own is more likely to put herself at risk and give an alarm call when predators approach her group when she has more close relatives in the group in danger. This is an example of:_______.

A. Kin selection.
B. Inclusive Fitness.
C. Intra-sexual selection.
D. Altruism.

Answer 1

Answer: b. Inclusive Fitness

Step-by-step explanation:

Inclusive fitness is the number of equivalents of offspring that an organism rears, rescues, or otherwise supports through it's actions.

Inclusive fitness is a theory which suggests that an organism's genetic success depends on cooperation with other people in a population. For future generations, a gene would be more prevalent if all individuals possessing the gene succeed for reproducing it, rather than only one person having the gene.

Hence the correct option is b. Inclusive Fitness
