Sexual Selection
  • A separate selection process that leads to sexual
    dimorphism (difference in characteristics of
    males and females)
  • Males often are larger, showier (like peacocks)
  • Females choose the traits they like most in a
    mate, causing those genes to be passed on when
    mating occurs
