D. this can result in attemps of one sex to control matting opportunities of the other sex

E. alternative mating tactics persit evolutionarily in sytems where there are low enviroment effect on sexual selection phenotypes

Explanation / Answer

Answer: B & E
Members of one sex compete with members of the same sex to mate with the members of the opposite
sex. Hence it leads to strong sexual selection.
Alternative mating tactics persit evolutionarily in sytems where there are low enviroment effect on
sexual selection phenotypes: The tactics are dictated by environmental conditions (may lead some
individuals to be losers, despite having good genes) and not by the genetic makeup of the individual.
The opposite sex for mating should be very choosy about which individuals it will mate with. The environmental factors such as essential resources or territory with food on, play a significant role on
sexual selection.
