b. innate behaviour is controlled by genes/inherited ✔

c. innate behaviour is present at birth OWTTE
OR
doesn't change through time/experience ✔

a. «courtship behaviour» is inherited/innate
OR
variations exist ✔ OWTTE

b. fittest animals have the best courtship behaviour ✔

c. «courtship behaviour» allows members of a species to identify each other
OR
«courtship behaviour» results in mate selection ✔ OWTTE

d. «courtship behaviour» increases chances of mating/reproductive success ✔

e. «courtship behaviour» also make organisms more vulnerable to predation ✔

f. «allows» best courtship to be passed on to the next generation/offspring ✔

a. when an animal learns to associate a reward with a certain kind of behaviour OWTTE
OR
