Answer:
Peacock with larger tails are most likely to produce more progeny.
Explanation:
Sexual selection is a type of natural selection wherein individuals with some specific genetic traits are preferred as a mate for interbreeding by the individuals of the opposite gender of the same species. For instance, in some species, males with large size have a greater chance to mate and pass on their genes to the progeny. This results in an increased frequency of the genes for the larger body size in population over time. Therefore, sexual selection results in the reproductive advantage for some individuals over others of the same species and sex.
In the given example, a peacock with larger tails is preferred as a mate by peahens and is able to produce more offspring. Due to its reproductive advantage, larger tails in peacocks are not selected against by natural selection.
Well the male bird is a dominant (long beak) and the female is a recessive(small beak.) we can assume that the female birds genotype is ii and the male birds genotype is LL or Li. When it comes to the offspring we can assume that the offspring would have a long beak. The offspring would either have the dominant (father) genes.
