Question

In TOPIC 6 we added new detail to the insight that non-human social behavior can be very precisely described if we "think like a gene" when we examine these behaviors. Which of the following is the most accurate and complete ultimate causal description of why the approach of thinking like a gene is so successful?a.The process of natural selection results in the screening of individual pieces of design information, favoring those alleles building animal minds that act as if replicating that animal's specific individual pieces of design information were paramount.

b.The process of natural selection results in the screening of individual pieces of design information, favoring those alleles building animal minds that act as if replicating that animal's species' design information were paramount.

c.The process of natural selection results in the screening of individual pieces of design information, favoring those alleles building animal minds that consciously work toward replicating that animal's specific individual pieces of design information.

d.The process of natural selection results in the screening of individual pieces of design information, favoring those alleles building animal minds that consciously work toward replicating that animal's species' design information.

Answer 1

(c)The process of natural selection results in the screening of individual pieces of design information, favoring those alleles building animal minds that consciously work toward replicating that animal's specific individual pieces of design information.

Step-by-step explanation:

Natural selection is the process through which populations of living organisms adapt and change. In this process organisms best adapted to their environment survive and reproduce to pass on favorable traits to their offspring.
