Q: What is the term for behaviors that are closely controlled by genes with little or no environmental influence?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Behaviors that are closely controlled by genes with little or no environmental influence are called innate behaviors . These are behaviors that occur naturally in all members of a species whenever they are exposed to a certain stimulus. Innate behaviors do not have to be learned or practiced. They are also called instinctive behaviors. An instinct is the ability of an animal to perform a behavior the first time it is exposed to the proper stimulus. For example, a dog will drool the first time—and every time—it is exposed to food.

 Choices:

- observational behaviors
