Full Description
This exam addresses behavioral genetics in relation to insect social structures, focusing on how genetic factors influence behaviors such as foraging, mating, and social hierarchy.
Insights gained from studying behavioral genetics are essential for understanding the evolutionary processes that shape social insects. Such knowledge can inform ecological management practices and improve pest control strategies.
The exam will assess students' ability to verbally articulate the connections between genetic makeup and specific behaviors in insects. Students will be expected to provide detailed explanations grounded in genetic theories.
Discussions may include case studies on social insects, demonstrating the application of behavioral genetics to real-world scenarios.
Sample Questions
- How do genetic factors influence foraging behavior in social insects?
- What role does genetic diversity play in the social hierarchy of insect populations?
