Question

Study of behaviour of animals is called as
A. Ethology
B. Parapsychology
C. Euphenics
D. Etiology

Answer 1

The study of ethology helps in animal welfare and especially animal husbandry. It is also useful for domestic animals, animals used in medicine studies, fishing and hunting, training animals, for veterinarians and animal conservation. This branch focuses on the survival and the reproduction of the animals by understanding evolution.

Complete answer:
Ethology deals with animal behaviour in natural conditions. It is a branch of biology. The branch studies a particular type of behaviour in a different animal who may be unrelated i.e., coming from different families and origin. For example, biologists may be studying aggression in many animals throughout evolution.
The study of conscious experiences like telepathy, precognition, and psychokinesis is Parapsychology
The Euphenics study deals with the study of genetics and its negative impact on human beings. It also deals with the changing conditions to alter these negative impacts.
Etiology deals with the study of the origin and causes of diseases. It is mostly used in the field of medicine.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

Note: It studies the animal’s communication process, feeding habits, mating style, migration of different species, and a defence mechanism. It also studies the brain anatomy of animals and its effect on the behaviour. The effect of genes on the animals is also studied under this branch.
Ethos means character.
Do not confuse words like ecology or etiology.
