Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since females take on the larger parenting role, they have a greater investment in their offspring's survival and therefore tend to be more selective in choosing a mate. This tendency is known as female choosiness or female mate choice. Option A is incorrect because producing a large number of gametes is not necessarily related to parenting roles. Option B is generally not true, as male competition for mating opportunities is more common in many species. Option D refers to a specific mating strategy that is not common in most species.
