Answer to Question 2

Sexual selection occurs in two ways. In the first way, members of one sex compete among themselves for opportunities to mate, the pool of potential mating candidates is limited. The winners out-reproduce the other competitors and natural selection occurs. In the second type of sexual selection, a sex chooses to mate with a specific person (or people), some people are more preferable to mate with than others.
