Why are natural and sexual selection inseparable?
What will be an ideal response?
Natural selection is achieved solely via sexual reproduction. A combination of genes from both parents leads to offspring that are different from parents. Sometimes, a new trait that brings certain advantage will appear in offspring. In large populations, the production of large number of divergent offspring will lead to continual change. However, in order to be truly adaptive, an advantageous trait must enhance not only survivability but also access to more mating opportunities. Only if sexual selection happens will genes defining this trait become selected. And only this collaboration of two
types of selection will lead to greater fitness and survivability.
