Target entity: Hamilton's rule
Context triple: [William D. Hamilton, knownFor, Hamilton's rule]
  • A. Tinbergen rule
    The Tinbergen rule is an economic principle stating that achieving a set of independent policy targets requires at least an equal number of independent policy instruments.
  • B. Fisher's fundamental theorem of natural selection
    Fisher's fundamental theorem of natural selection is a key principle in evolutionary biology stating that the rate of increase in fitness of a population is proportional to its genetic variance in fitness.
  • C. Haldane’s rule
    Haldane’s rule is a principle in evolutionary biology stating that when in the offspring of two different animal species or subspecies one sex is absent, rare, or sterile, that sex is usually the heterogametic one (e.g., XY or ZW).
  • D. Hardy–Weinberg principle
    The Hardy–Weinberg principle is a fundamental concept in population genetics that describes how allele and genotype frequencies remain constant from generation to generation in an idealized, non-evolving population.
  • E. Hairston–Smith–Slobodkin hypothesis
    The Hairston–Smith–Slobodkin hypothesis is an influential ecological theory proposing that predators keep herbivore populations in check, allowing plant biomass to flourish and helping explain why the world is "green."
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
