Question

Behaviors that appear to be genetically programmed are called
A)innate.
B)ultimate.
C)fixed action patterns.
D)proximate.
E)voluntary.

Accepted Answer

Innate behaviors are those that are genetically programmed and do not require any learning or experience. Fixed action patterns are a type of innate behavior, but not all innate behaviors are fixed action patterns. Ultimate and proximate refer to different levels of explanation in evolutionary biology, and voluntary implies a conscious decision rather than automatic behavior.
