Question

Some behaviors, such as nest building in birds, are determined by the genes of an organism. These innate behaviors are inherited from parent to offspring and exhibited even if the offspring does not observe its parent performing the behavior. Nest building behavior was most likely an evolutionary advantage because birds that built nests were more likely to raise their young to maturity and thus increase their reproductive success. That is, birds that laid their eggs in nests had more offspring survive to adulthood than those that did not. Behaviors that are determined by genes and that give an organism increased reproductive success usually become common in a species due to+

Answer 1

natural selection

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the evolutionary theory, natural selection can be understood as the process of differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to phenotypic differences, which may be associated with different colors, sizes, behaviors, etc. The only prerequisite is that these phenotypic differential traits must be heritable, which means that they must be passed by genes from one generation to the next. For example, in the white-throated sparrow, it has been discovered two morphs that differ in behavior due to a chromosomal inversion in sex chromosomes.
