Question

Within a population extreme, phenotypes are often observable within the same species. Which of the following explains why sexual selection often causes genetic variations that express extreme phenotypes within a population?

Genetic variation from sexual reproduction produces new phenotypes.

Only genes for favorable traits are passed on to future generations.

Only the intermediate genes are allowed to be passed on to offspring.

Organisms reproduce with closely related species, which results in extreme phenotypes.

Explanation / Answer

Sexual Reproducing animals results in reshuffling of alleles. This reshuffling results in variations.

Considering all the options provided, Option A seems best suitable. As it emphasizes on the cause of new phenotypes is genetic variations produced due to sexual reproduction.

Thus option A is most correct.
