Question

Due to the difference in the size of gametes produced by males and females, selection operates differently on the sexes. Why? a. Eggs require less energy to produce and are produced in greater quantities, while sperm are fewer and more metabolically b.Eggs require less energy to produce and are produced in greater quantities, while sperm are fewer and more metabolically c. Eggs are fewer and more metabolically expensive to produce, while sperm require less energy to produce and are produced in d. Eggs are fewer and more metabolically expensive to produce, while sperm require less energy to produce and are produced in expensive to produce. Female reproductive success is therefore limited by the limited number of sperm produced expensive to produce. Male reproductive success is therefore limited by the limited number of sperm produced greater quantities. Male reproductive success is therefore limited by the availability of eggs greater quantities. Female reproductive success is therefore limited by the availability of eggs
