Chapter 52.6, Problem 4C
Summary Introduction
To explain: The basis that a number of females invest in caring for their offspring than males.
Introduction: The selection of the species is chosen by nature itself. Criteria of adaptability and having the superior genes that are beneficial for the population in an individual are promoted by the natural selection. The variations that are adopted by the individual serve the criteria for a better survival rate of the species.
