Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sexual selection is a mode of natural selection where certain traits increase an individual's chances of reproducing by making them more attractive or preferable to mates, leading to a reproductive advantage over others of the same sex and species. This concept does not inherently favor monogamous mating systems, lead to the establishment of elaborate societies, dictate the level of parental care, nor is it considered separate from natural selection.
