Sensory bias can lead to sexual selection if: Male phenotype is correlated with parental care Male phenotype is correlated with male offspring phenotype Females benefit from attractive male offspring Female preference is linked to mate choice via pleiotropic genes Male phenotype correlated with environment

Color blindness is known to be a sex-linked trait, which is recessive. Normal color vision is dominant. A woman has normal vision, but her father was color blind. She marries a man with normal color vision. What are the expected genotypes and phenotypes of their offspring? - Male Female genotypic ratio: phenotypic ratio:

Sexual selection favors individuals with traits that increase their ability to obtain mates, such as mating calls in crickets. Using this example, propose a scenario where sexual selection could contribute to divergence in sympatric speciation.
