A final exam for biology 331, focusing on detailed solutions and key concepts in animal behavior and neurobiology. It covers topics such as neuron function, fixed action patterns, neural networks, and the work of robert sapolsky. Additionally, it explores altruism, reciprocal altruism, cooperative breeding, and the roles of hormones like prolactin. The exam also delves into insect and chordate eyes, honey bee brain structures, and the nervous system of chordates, providing a comprehensive overview of animal behavior and neurobiology. It also includes questions and answers about genetics and social behavior, such as kin selection and eusociality, making it a valuable resource for students studying biology and animal behavior.
