Effects of genetics
on behaviour:
according to
Darwin natural
selection has great
influence on
organism. This was
followed by Galton
and He stated that
natural selection
have not only effect
on organism
physical
appearence but on
behaviour as well..
Members of the
same spp varies in
behaviour
according to the
expressions of
genes, some
shows much
response to a
stimulus but others
shos less to that
stimuli

Organisms of temperate area shows seasonal activity ie. most of them
breed in spring and shows decrease in activity in winter called
hibernation. In tropics, there is period of heavy rain and the organisms
of these regions are adopted to this condition

Rabbit and
mice shows
deposition and
metabolism of
glycogen on
daily basis in
liver. Certain
insects shows
variation in
pigmentation
E.g Lion, Beer, Wolf etc on diurnal
base.

North west

Innate behavior is inherited (ethogram)

just like inheritence of colour and other
traits as they are coded in DNA

Bee move towards nectar, pair of birds will form nest, spider
spin to weave web, catterpillar will form cocoon, birds sing
after hatching even in isolation, it also include simple reflexes
like removing of hand on touching acid or hot stove.

5. CONSUMATE: Fully developed on first performance

Learning is persistent change in behavior
through experience.

Extrinsic: not developed in

isolation

was presented
by skinner
when he
closed the rat
in skinner
box. The lever
(INSTRUMENTAL LEARNING) was used by
rat by chance.
When the
lever was
pushed the rat
got the dried
food snd this
was learnt to
rat by
subsequent
attempt to get
the food by
pushing the
lever down

This was first observed by Kohler

Not by trial and error but by judgement, thinking

 S.B are set of interactions in intraspecific organisms.
Some of them are asocial and interact less with each
other e.g mosquitos, polor beers but others are highly
social and works together and live in colonies e.g. pack
of wolves, bee, wasps, fishes etc
