Allele Z codes for a cooperative behavior among full siblings. Recipients of this behavior receive a benefit of seven fitness units, and the behavior costs the donor three fitness units. Use Hamilton’s rule to determine whether allele Z will spread in the population.
ANSWER :-
The Hamilton's rule basically deals with the phenomena of natural selection in which the reproductive success is being considered. The formula is provided as follows :-
r B > C
In which, r = relatedness
B = Benefit the recipient gains
C = Costs faced by the donor (altruist)
(50%) x (7) = (3)
3.5 = 3
This indicates that the cooperative behavior will prove to be beneficial to the individuals indicating that the Z allele will spread through the population.
