question 16 (3 points)
this type of male selection is where an sex(gender) mates with several others:
a monogamous
b altruism
c kin selection
d polygamous

Explanation:

Question 14

Operant conditioning involves learning through consequences (rewards/punishments) associated with voluntary behavior, not arbitrary stimuli (that's more related to classical conditioning). So the statement is false.

Spatial learning is about modifying behavior based on experience with the environment (like locations of nests, food, mates). Associative learning is about associating stimuli, cooperative is about working together, and habituation is reducing response to repeated stimuli. So the correct option is spatial (option b).

Polygamous mating means one gender mates with multiple others. Monogamous is one mate, altruism is selfless behavior, kin selection is about favoring relatives. So the correct option is polygamous (option d).

Answer:

False
