Question
- which is a process in which organisms favor others that are genetically related to them, even at the cost of the organisms own reproduction?
kin selection
stabilizing selection
disruptive selection
sexual selection
Kin selection is a concept in evolutionary biology where an organism may behave in a way that benefits others genetically related to it, even if it costs the organism in terms of its own reproduction. This is based on the idea that by helping relatives (who share some of its genes), the organism can still pass on its genes indirectly. Sexual selection is about traits that help in mating success. Stabilizing selection favors average traits. Disruptive selection favors extreme traits.
