Question 49 • Science 7 B (M12 25/26 S2)

A wedge-capped capuchin is a species of South American monkeys. They live in groups that typically have one male and several females. Sometimes young males live in a group too in order to help take care of the young. Most groups have a dominant female that often displays aggression toward other females and young males in the group.Which best describes the group behavior of these monkeys?

Answer
A
territorial imperative
B
social hierarchy
C
migratory
D
hibernating

Explanation

A social hierarchy is an arrangement in which members of a group have different levels of status or dominance. The dominant female’s aggression toward other females and young males shows that the group has a dominance structure, so “social hierarchy” is the best choice. The description does not indicate migration or hibernation.
