A researcher interested in predicting patterns of helping behavior using the concept of inclusive fitness would want to know
A) how strongly helping behavior in biological parents correlates with helping behavior in their offspring.
B) how much genetic material you share with someone you might help.
C) the similarity between adopted siblings on measures of helping behavior.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Therefore, understanding how much genetic material one shares with someone they might help is crucial for predicting patterns of helping behavior based on this concept.
