Animal behaviour midterm two onward 1. What would the termite queen say about aggression between workers? v over my dead body! . The queen expresses neofem2, which suppresses worker aggression and reproduction. Rather, the subjects acted unusually. Mendel"s laws (there are only two!: principle of segregation. Alleles at different loci are inherited independently of each other. The modern understanding is that this is true only for unlinked loci. Male ruffs have two mating strategies: independent and satellite. Special because these traits in male ruffs are monogenic. Smaller and lighter feather colouration. Larger and have darker plumage. Rids recessive independent dominant satellite. Mouse fear response: decrease in activity and increase in defecation. Fear/anxiety response was observed in an open- field behaviour experiment. Fear/anxiety response was also measured in two types of mazes. More fearful mice were identified and used to find quantitative trait loci (qtl) Two lines of mice bred for high or low open- field activity.
