To determine which characteristic females are using to select mates, first remind yourself of the evolutionary explanation of female choice, Zahavi's Handicap Hypothesis. Select the best summary of this hypothesis from the options below. O Females will select males with the characteristics that make it easier for them to survive in the environment because these beneficial characteristics will enhance survival of their offspring. Females will select males with beneficial characteristics for their environment to avoid passing on handicapping features to their offspring. Females will select males with extreme characteristics because surviving with these challenging characteristics should indicate that the male is genotypically superior. More than one of the above correctly summarizes Zahavi's Handicap Hypothesis.
