Answer 1

Certain behaviours are innate in animals because they are essential for their survival immediately

Answer 2

Answer:

The behavior of aquarium fish swimming to the surface of the water, when approached by a person, is because of classical conditioning.

Explanation:

• classical conditioning is the process of learning in which the conditioned stimulus (e.g., sound of the feeder) is associated with the unconditioned stimulus (e.g., the sight of food) repeatedly till the time conditioned stimulus becomes sufficient to induce the response alone.
• The fish respond to the sight of food naturally but when the sound of the feeder is paired with the sight of food several times through the technique called classical conditioning, the fish become trained to produce a response to the sound of the feeder in hope of getting food. That's why the fish in the aquarium swim towards the water surface when a person approaches.
