Sexual Selection Occurs When a Female Chooses a Male That

Question

Sexual selection occurs when a female chooses a male that _____.  
A) shares all resources
B) is migratory
C) provides a gift of prey
D) can be a chameleon
E) has never had a mate

Accepted Answer

Sexual selection often involves the female choosing a mate based on traits that indicate the male's ability to provide resources or parental care, such as the ability to catch prey. This is called "resource-based" or "nuptial gift-giving" sexual selection. Therefore, choice C is the best option as it mentions the male providing a gift of prey. The other options do not directly relate to traits that are usually selected for in sexual selection.
