Answer 1

Type of interaction where an individual sacrifices its own welfare (life) for the benefit of another animal of its own species is altruism.

Explanation:

Altruism is a form of interaction where an individual sacrifices its own welfare, even its life, to benefit another animal of its own species. This behavior is often innate and seen in social animals to protect or benefit their group. Examples include scout rodents alerting the pack to danger or certain deer sacrificing themselves to save others from predators.
