∙ 12y ago
Courtship behaviors can have various effects on individual species of animals, and individuals within that species. Generally, it makes females receptive to sex.
As a whole, courtship behavior serves as a screening process for the most healthy of animals to pair with other healthy animals. The courtship process of several birds, for example, is to build the biggest nest. The bird who can build the biggest, most elaborate nest without killing himself or getting eaten is obviously the strongest male out of all that may be courting a female. This strong male is the most likely to produce strong, viable offspring that will survive.

What is the answer between acquired and inherited traits?
no, there are two types of behaviors: innate and learned. obviously, the innate behaviors are known from birth and the learned behaviors are acquired after birth. Learned behaviors can modify innate behaviors such as teaching a baby not to babble but to learn English. Simplified: something LEARNED cannot be passed down genetically UR A FAIL EAT CAKE

What is the role of Darwin theory of evolution in under standing behavior?
The role is everything to understanding behavior. Natural selection has a great deal to do with the selection of behaviors that are reproductively successful over behaviors that are not. This is against the background of environmental influence. Some behaviors do not work as well in certain environments as others and all behavior is environmentally influenced, but all inheritance is " hard " inheritance through the genes.

Does sexual selection lead to violence?
Sexual selection, which is the process by which certain traits are favored for reproduction, can indeed lead to violence in some species. In some cases, competition over mates can result in aggressive behaviors such as fighting or intimidation. However, it is important to note that not all forms of sexual selection result in violence, and many species have alternative strategies for mate selection that do not involve aggression.
