| 7495351106 | Instinct (Innate) Behavior | behaviors that are inherited |  | 1 |
| 7495351107 | Kinesis | random movement of animal in relation to stimulus; the stimulus causes an alteration in rate or direction of activity or movement. |  | 2 |
| 7495351108 | Fixed-action Patterns | sequence of unlearned acts that are unchangeable and usually continue until they are completed |  | 3 |
| 7495351109 | Signal | stimulus that causes change in behavior | 4 | |
| 7495351110 | Learned Behaviors | Behaviors that are modified based on specific experiences example: nest building |  | 5 |
| 7495351111 | Habituation | loss of responsiveness to stimuli with little or no meaning; animal can ignore meaningless stimuli |  | 6 |
| 7495351112 | Associative Learning | ability to connect one stimulus with another |  | 7 |
| 7495351113 | Classical Conditioning | arbitrary stimulus associated with particular outcome example: training a dog |  | 8 |
| 7495351114 | Operant Conditioning (trial and error) | when faced with two choices, an organism can learn to choose the option with the best reward. |  | 9 |
| 7495351117 | Altruism | engaging in behavior that doesn't help you, but helps rest of population (selfless) |  | 10 |
| 7495351119 | Kin Selection | altruistic behavior that enhances reproductive success of relatives |  | 11 |
| 7495351121 | Foraging | food obtaining behavior |  | 12 |
| 7495351122 | Sexual Selection | seeking and attracting mates/choosing and competing for males |  | 13 |
| 7495351123 | Pheromones | Chemical signals |  | 14 |
| 7495351125 | Imprinting | Some baby bird species will follow the first moving object they see usually the mother. example: ducks |  | 15 |
| 7495351126 | Migration | organisms move from one place to another periodically, generally in response to temperature or food availability. example: geese, monarch butterflies |  | 16 |
| 7495351129 | Positive Chemotaxis | An organism responds to a chemical by moving towards it. example: male cockroach pheromones attract females |  | 17 |
| 7495351130 | Negative Chemotaxis | An organism responds to a chemical by moving away from it. example: the smell of a skunk repels other animals |  | 18 |
| 7495351131 | Positive Phototaxis | An organism responds to light by moving towards it. example: moths to a light |  | 19 |
| 7495351132 | Negative Phototaxis | An organism responds to light by moving away from it. example: moles live underground |  | 20 |
| 7495351136 | Intra-specific Competition | occurs among organisms of same species |  | 21 |
| 7495351137 | Inter-specific Competition | Occurs among organisms of different species example: competition between hyenas and lions for a dead zebra |  | 22 |
