What is parent-offspring conflict from an evolutionary standpoint? What about sibling conflict? Calculate relatedness to support your answer.
Parent offspring conflict: it was coined in 1974 by Robert Trivers. It describes evolutionary conflict arises from differences in parental investment in an offspring from the standpoint of parent and offspring.
Sibling conflict: it is a type of competition among siblings which may be because of jealousy, fighting and attention from parents.
Relatedness: sibling conflict is due to innocent things but parent offspring conflict may be due to parents divorce, half siblings and no attention and love from parents. So according to me relatedness is not significantly approved.
