Question

 

Type of Inherited behavior

          1) Orientation
          2) Reflex
          3) Chain of reflex

        1. Orientation

         A behavior that living organisms responds to physical factors. Cause a reasonable place to live, as the swim of fish perpendicular to the sun lower level invisible enemies. Chameleon puffed up perpendicular to the sun to maximize the surface area so that get hot enough, the response to temperature of Chameleon Cold.

In the picture
For swimming, the fish will move in any direction to maintain the body perpendicular to the sun always (Dorsal light reaction) behavior, the enemy can not see the fish, the elusive enemy is another way. one

Other examples of behavior Orientation
      
        Kinesis

        Another form of behavior Orientation. Often found in the protozoa. Or invertebrates The nervous system is not well developed. It responds to the stimulus by moving toward. Or from nearby stimuli only. The movement in each direction will be uncertain. Or no relation to the direction of the stimulus.

In the picture
Temperature response of Paramecium shows the shift away from a high temperature to a low temperature. This moves away from high temperature, with direction uncertain. Or are not associated with the stimuli. If it's moving Paramecium has a definite direction Paramecium steps back Then on to a low temperature without Ben goes direction.

 


The cockroaches
         The cockroaches are behaving like narrow. Or touch the body with something, it will stop. When released in the open Cockroaches Cockroaches are actively running around Until it hits something, it will stop. Behavior of cockroaches running for objects Running a random Without direct access to the object directly.

 

Sow bug The movement of moisture into the Sow bug.
   
        The Sow bug moves in the dry, but will move down in moist. The picture shows the movement of moist Sow bug to find. The direction of motion is not related with the stimuli as well as the behavior of the shrimp when it's dry, it jumped and danced like no way but to stand still when it is in which is moist.

 

          Taxis
          
Behavior is moving toward or away from a stimulus with a certain direction. This behavior is often found in the organism Recepter powerful enough to be able to recognize and compare Stimuli are examples of such.

๐ The movement toward the light of Planaria.

๐ Motion of maggots to light escapes

๐ Movement toward the light of the mayfly.

๐ The movement of the bat toward the sound source.

๐ Ripening of the fruit fly Drosophila approached.

๐ Approached the female cricket male crickets After hearing the wings of male crickets.


The moths fly toward the light Moving to the light of Planaria.

         It is seen that the movement of the moth to the light and movement of Planaria to approach the light. A goal and a definite direction.
 

          Bats emit high frequency sound 200 times per second. The bat's the sound waves with a frequency too high for humans to hear. High frequency sound waves are reflected back to the bugs then. Making bats know where and what insect pests. The bats will be chased. And capture insect prey, which is moving toward a certain direction.

          Crickets are insects on the wing Wings on the wings of a thick crust. , Serrated teeth pointed like When was the color on the hard edge of the wings, but some of it was the sound of the chimes.

          The males only to the sound of wings. To be mares to breed the female crickets do not make a sound. Crickets have ears on their front legs below the knee. Cricket likes to nocturnal Sleeping during the day to hide. The movement toward males at the sound of crickets. With the exact behavior Taxis are considered as one another.

          Observing the male and female crickets, crickets, males have a black body and wings. Her and grew to be a little larger than the female cricket. The cricket females have brown wings.
