Multiple Choice
We can assume that related species will have inherited some common genes because they have a common ancestor. If they live in different ecological conditions, however, they have experienced different selection pressures. Observed differences in their behavior, therefore, may be due to natural selection. This argument provides the rationale for which approach to the study of adaptiveness?
A) monitoring in the field
B) optimality modeling
C) the comparative method
D) the experimental method
