Concept explainers

Sexual Motivation

Sexual motivation refers to a person's overall desire for sexual activity. It is an unusual motivation. Generally, among lower animals, the term 'drive' is commonly referred to as sexual motivation. It means a certain internal force drags the animal to be involved in reproductive behavior. On the contrary, humans are not simply driven by any internal force; rather, the sexual motivation in humans is due to several factors such as biological (hormones, genes), environmental (familial upbringing, chemical exposure) and physiological factors (culture, desire) which further determine engagement in sexual activities.

You are studying a genetically modified mouse that produces electric blue fur, which is not a fur color observed in nature. You notice that females prefer males that have the blue fur when given a choice test for mates. This result supports which of the following models of sexual selection? a. Sexual selection for indirect benefits b. Sexual selection for direct benefits c. Sexual selection for arbitrary traits d. None of the above
Which of the following is the best description of sexual selection? a. Sexual selection is the differential reproductive success due to variation in acquiring immunity from mates. b. Sexual selection is the differential reproductive success due to variation in survival from social selection. c. Sexual selection is the differential reproductive success due to variation in acquiring mates or mating success. d. Sexual selection is the differential survival success due to variation in avoiding mates or mating success.
Intrasexual selection involves competition among one sex (typically males) for mating access to the other sex. Intersexual selection involves mate choice in which individuals from one sex (typically females) choose their mates from among individuals of the other sex. Imagine a group of males that is engaged in agonistic behavior, from which Male A emerges triumphant. Now imagine a female that is assessing all of the males that were involved in the fights, and chooses Male A. Explain why this situation shows how intrasexual and intersexual selection pressures are likely both at play in the trait selection.
Which species are examples of intrasexual selection? Please select all correct answers. a. Elk b. Elephant seals c. Widowbirds d. Whiptail lizards
Explain how sexual selection might lead to a)sexual dimorphism and b) members of one sex (usually male) having traits that do not enhance their survival
What is the selective factor, or selective environment, in the case of sexual selection, that allows individuals with some genotypes to leave more offspring than individuals of other genotypes? Choose the best answer from the available options. Group of answer choices A-Sickle-cell disease B- AIDS C-Human preference D-Malaria E-Female preference
Would you expect sexual selection to increase or decrease adaptation of a population to its environment? A. Consider male-male competition first. B. Then consider the different mechanism for the evolution of female preferences and their implications for adaptation to the environment? Explain your thinking.
The good genes model of sexual selection is a popular hypothesis for mate choice. What is an underlying flaw with the hypothesis that must be explained?
Eusociality and haplo-diploidy, in ants and bees, are often (though not always) correlated because… Group of answer choices: A. having twice as many genes allows queens to be far more capable of controlling other individuals. B. being able to control the sex of offspring allows parents to regulate the amount of cooperation. C. a worker can have more of her genes passed on in a new sister than in an offspring of her own. D. males have fathers but females don’t. E. it allows high levels of inbreeding to evolve without negative effects.
Name some traits for which you think humans exhibit nonrandom mating. Is mating for these traits likely to be positive or negative assortative mating? Name some traits for which you think people mate randomly. How could you test whether mating for these traits is random?
Among the Great Apes, yet unlike our chimpanzee and bonobo 'cousins', as humans we combine a unique evolutionary blend of different physical and behavioral traits commonly identified with either 'pair-bonding' or 'tournament' species. Which of the following options below inaccurately matches our shared characteristics with each type? Select one: a. moderate to high degree of sexual dimorphisms - tournament b. moderate to highly monogamy in coupled relationships - tournament c. male mate pickiness - pair bonding d. high parental investment - pair bonding e. females selecting mates for parenting skill - pair bonding f. moderate to high variability in male reproductive success & aggression - tournament
Assume you are studying a species of slug where the eggs are fertilized and transferred to the male. As a result the male is not able to increase reproductive success by mating with multiple partners. Therefore which of the following about sexual selection in this species is not true? Females are more likely to develop traits that signal genetic quality to males. Females will be able to increase reproductive success with increased mating partners. Sexual selection in males will lead them to be choosy with what females they mate with. Sexual selection in males will lead them to mate indiscriminately when they find a female.
