Question

migration to homeland is a behavior that many species such as monarch butterfly and salmon participate in annually. organisms know when and where to migrate without observing others in the species. this is an example of:

• instinct (innate) behavior
• physical adaptation
• learned behavior

Explanation:

• Instinct (innate) behavior: It is a behavior that is genetically programmed and does not require learning or observation. Monarch butterflies and salmon migrating without observing others fit this as it is an inherent, unlearned behavior pattern.
• Physical adaptation: Refers to a physical change in an organism (like a thicker coat for cold weather), not a behavior.
• Learned behavior: Requires an organism to learn through experience or observation (e.g., a dog learning to sit when commanded). But the migration here is without observing others.

Answer:

Instinct (innate) behavior
