Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The behavior described is kin selection, which is a type of natural selection that favors altruistic behavior toward close relatives as it increases the likelihood of passing on shared genes. This behavior is not necessarily instinctive, and while it may be adaptive, it is specifically geared toward aiding relatives rather than solely benefiting the individual's survival or reproduction. Operant conditioning and altricial behavior are not directly related to this type of behavior.
