Africаn wild dоgs engаge in cооperаtive breeding in which some individuals spend much of their time helping other individuals breed and rear their offspring, and less time rearing their own offspring. Imagine that an individual either has an allele that makes it a helper or an allele that makes it selfish. In other words, there is a "help" allele and a "selfish" allele. If an individual has the help allele, it will have 2 offspring of its own and its 3 full-siblings will have 4 offspring each. If an individual has the selfish allele, it will have 6 offspring of its own and its 3 full-siblings will have 2 offspring each. Answer these four questions and explain your reasoning. Remember that Hamilton's rule is r*B > C. 1) What is the value of r between the focal individual and each sibling? 2) What is the value of C? 3) What is the value of B? 4) Is helping favored by natural selection? Explain why or why not by showing your calculations.
