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.
