Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sexual selection is a mode of natural selection where members of one biological sex choose mates of the other sex to mate with (intersexual selection), and compete with members of the same sex for access to members of the opposite sex (intrasexual selection). This can lead to changes in allele frequencies in a population, as certain traits become more desirable and thus more common over generations.
