Question

How can three different types of males evolve in one population?

Answer 1

Answer:

There are several factors affecting the evolution of one population. Natural selection is one of the factor that influence evolution. It is a process in which an individual organisms undergo certain changes in their traits or phenotypes  more likely to survive and reproduce.

So, a population can give rise to different types of male following the process of natural selection. for example : evolution of Pacific Northwest lizards (male side-blotched lizards) into three different  throat-color patterns lizards including blue, orange and yellow.

They are evolved according to the reproductive strategy. The natural selection favours orange color lizard and is more dominant than blue and yellow lizard. Blue males have medium size and stronger than yellow while forming bonds with the mates while yellow are the smallest lizard and looks like female which help them to find the mate.

Hence, natural selection support evolution of one population to different types.
