Male deer have large antlers that are used to challenge each other in fights for territory and females. The females of this group actively choose the strongest males. Which type of sexual selection is occurring with the deer population? Intersexual and intrasexual selection are both occurring. Stabilizing selection Intersexual selection Intrasexual selection Negative frequency-dependent selection Question 51 Which of the following would result in reproductive isolation?
Suman K.
Male elk that grow large antlers are more likely to win a fight when challenged by a rival and are more attractive to females. This means they have a reproductive advantage over small antlered males. However, to grow those large antlers these males must "steal" calcium from their bones, giving them seasonal osteoporosis. This makes their bones more brittle and more likely to break, which can decrease their chances of survival. This is an example of: Select one: a. Individual learning b. Inclusive fitness c. Sexual selection d. Survival selection e. Cultural transmission
