When a frog flips out its tongue to catch an insect flying past, it is showing which type of behavior?
Correct answer: D. Innate behavior
- A. Learned behavior
- B. Territoriality
- C. Courtship behavior
- D. Innate behavior
Explanation
Innate behaviors are instinctive and present in an organism from birth. Flipping out the tongue to catch prey is an example of an innate behavior in frogs. They are born with the reflex to extend their tongues rapidly to capture passing prey, such as insects. This behavior is not learned but rather inherited through genetics.

About Concept of Evolution
Evolution is the heritable change in populations over generations, driven by mutation, recombination, natural selection, genetic drift and reproductive isolation. Questions examine variation, adaptation, survival and reproduction, speciation, fossil and anatomical evidence, and the difference between individual acclimatization and evolutionary change in a population.
