Question

Based on the passage in question 7, which hypothesis was Dilger testing in his experiment?

Answers

If the hybrid offspring have a mixture of behaviors, then the species are within the same genus.
If a hybrid offspring carries nesting material in its beak, then it is more closely related to modern lovebirds.
If lovebird species can interbreed, then a hybrid offspring will have a mixture of behaviors
correct

If behavior in lovebirds is genetic, then a hybrid offspring will display a mixture of behaviors

Explanation

From the first paragraph, Dilger state that the various birds from the genus Agpornis exhibit different behaviours which can be used to infer the evolutionary journey of the birds. The hybrid lovebird is an offspring of both the peach-faced lovebird and Fischer’s lovebird. Since the hybrid exhibited the traits and behaviours of its parents, the researcher was investigating whether the birds had inherited the nest building behaviour from the two parents. An inherited behaviour from parents is an inherited gene.
