Question

The silver fox domestication experiment provides a valuable test for the nature vs. nurture debate in which:

a. selection for behavioral traits also selected for linked phenotypic traits
b. an extremely uncommon trait in the general population (all foxes) became very common in the target population (domesticated foxes).
c. rapid behavioral change was observed in as few as 8 generations
d. researchers could isolate the importance of genetics on behavior, rather than upbringing.
e. All of the above

Answer 1

Answer: Your welcome!

Step-by-step explanation:

E. All of the above.

The silver fox domestication experiment provides a valuable test for the nature vs. nurture debate because it addresses all of the points mentioned above. Selection for behavioral traits also selected for linked phenotypic traits, an extremely uncommon trait in the general population (all foxes) became very common in the target population (domesticated foxes), rapid behavioral change was observed in as few as 8 generations, and researchers could isolate the importance of genetics on behavior, rather than upbringing. All of these factors provide evidence to support the nature vs. nurture debate.
