The Principle Underlying Kin Selection Is That

question 92

Multiple Choice

The principle underlying kin selection is that:

• A)because close relatives share many genes with an individual,when the individual helps close kin,those shared genes are more likely to be passed on to offspring.
• B)people are more likely to help similar others such as family members because they share the same personal values.

• D)humans are inherently selfish and will only help others if they share genetic traits or offer an opportunity to reproduce.

Time Constants

A parameter that quantifies the response time of a system to a step input, notably in RC and RL circuits, characterized by the time it takes for a system to change significantly.

Electromagnetic Induction

The phenomenon where an electromotive force (EMF) is induced in a closed circuit by a change in the flux of magnetic field.

Lenz's Law

A principle in electromagnetism stating that an induced electric current will flow in a direction such that it opposes the change in magnetic flux that produced it.

Exponential Rate

A rate of growth in which the increase occurs in a manner proportional to the current amount, often seen as rapid growth.
