Question ID:PT51 S1 Q19 Passage:Geneticist:  Genes, like viruses, have a strong tendency to self-replicate; this has led some biologists to call genes "selfish." This term is, in this instance, intended to be defined behaviorally:  it describes what genes do without ascribing intentions to them. But even given that genes are ascribed no intentions, the label "selfish" as applied to genes is a misnomer. Selfishness only concerns bringing about the best conditions for oneself; creating replicas of oneself is not selfish. Stem:Which one of the following, if assumed, allows the geneticist's conclusion to be properly drawn? Correct Answer Choice:BChoice A:Bringing about the best conditions for oneself is less important than doing this for others. Choice B:Creating replicas of oneself does not help bring about the best conditions for oneself. Choice C:The behavioral definition of "selfish" is incompatible with its everyday definition. Choice D:To ignore the fact that self-replication is not limited to genes is to misunderstand genetic behavior. Choice E:Biologists have insufficient evidence about genetic behavior to determine whether it is best described as selfish.
