  1. Animal             is defined by response to            in the environment.
     
  2. An           (instinctive) behavior is inherited through genes, as when a         stimulus triggers a fixed           pattern (FAP).
     
  3. Many behaviors are            and can be altered based on previous experiences.
     
    •                learning takes place when a behavior is                by association between two stimuli or between a stimulus and a response.

  7. Some social animals exhibit               behavior, an action that benefits other individuals at a cost to the actor.
