Discuss the concept of inclusive fitness. What will be an ideal response?
Concepts to Consider: Inclusive fitness includes the genes that each organism passes on to its offspring, as well as those genes that are also passed on by reproduction of related
organisms; this results in altruistic behavior such as helpers at the nest, grooming of other
family members, and the insect societies. In bee societies, the unusual haploid/diploid
situation leads to female workers that forgo reproduction to care for the daughters of the
queen, to which they are highly related.
