The longer the tail, the better the male is at flying and finding food. Longer tails of male barn swallows have evolved because female barn swallows prefer to mate with males that have the longest tails. What is this process is best described as ? a. Genetic drift that changes the frequencies of the alleles for tail length. b. Natural selection for sexual reproduction that maintains variation in the genes that influence tail length. c. Intrasexual selection for traits, such as long tails that help males attract females. d. Intersexual selection for traits, such as long tails that help males attract females. The correct answer is: Intersexual selection for traits, such as long tails that help males attract females.

Males with the longest tail feathers win more fights with other widowbirds. b. Males with the longest tail feathers are at the greatest risk of predation and these males are preferentially selected by females. Males with the longest tail feathers win more fights with other widowbirds and these males are preferentially selected by females. c. Females select widowbirds with the longest tail feathers. d. Males with the longest tail feathers are at the greatest risk of predation. The correct answer is: Males with the longest tail feathers are at the greatest risk of predation and these males are preferentially selected by females.

No, this would decrease his fitness as he would likely not find a second mate and would decrease his sperm transfer to the female he has found. b. No, this would decrease his fitness as his first mate would expel his sperm once he left the area. c. Yes, this would increase his fitness as it would provoke the first female to allow him to mate more, and he would get a second mating opportunity with another female. d. Yes, this would greatly increase his fitness as he would be able to produce more offspring and with a variety of mates, increasing the chance that some of his offspring would survive. Your answer is correct. The correct answer is: No, this would decrease his fitness as he would likely not find a second mate and would decrease his sperm transfer to the female he has found.
