Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sexual selection favors traits that increase an individual's ability to compete for mates, even if those traits may not directly lead to survival or offspring survival. This can lead to differences in the physical characteristics of males and females, as males may evolve more elaborate traits for attracting mates while females may evolve traits that make them more choosy in selecting mates.
