| 2 | Secondary Sexual Characteristics | | _____ | natural selection that acts on heritable traits that affect reproduction |
| 3 | Sexual Selection | | _____ | exaggerated morphological traits used in intrasexual competition |
| 4 | Mate Competition | | _____ | physical resources (i.e. food) that a male provides to a female in order to enhance his mating success |
| 5 | Mate Choice | | _____ | a species in which females compete for males, who typically invest heavily in parental care |
| 6 | Anisogamy | | _____ | female reproductive success is most strongly limited by the number and success of eggs she can produce; male reproductive success is limited by the number of mates obtained |
| 7 | Isogamy | | _____ | individuals observe and copy the mating decisions of other individuals |
| 8 | Bateman's Hypothesis | | _____ | the genitalia and organs of reproduction |
| 9 | Parental Investment Theory | | _____ | all individuals produce gametes that have the same size, regardless of sex |
| 10 | Weapons | | _____ | a mating tactic in which a male attempts to avoid detection so that he can quickly enter a bourgeois territory to fertilize eggs being deposited in a nest |
| 11 | Ornaments | | _____ | the existence of different sized gametes in the different sexes |
| 12 | Lek | | _____ | genetic benefits females can obtain for their offspring by mating with males that have high genetic quality |
| 13 | Sensory Bias Hypothesis | | _____ | competition between sperm of different males to fertilize eggs |
| 14 | Sex-role Reversed Species | | _____ | material resources obtained by a female from mating with a particular male |
| 15 | Direct Material Benefits | | _____ | the strategy that yields the highest fitness |
| 16 | Nuptial Gift | | _____ | well-developed secondary sexual characteristics are costly to survival but reliable signals of fitness |
| 17 | Indirect Genetic Benefits | | _____ | selection by one sex for a member of the opposite sex for reproduction |
| 18 | Runaway Process | | _____ | an evolutionary process in which a male trait co-evolves with a female preference resulting in the male trait to become increasingly exaggerated |
| 19 | Handicap Principle | | _____ | the use of a particular strategy based on an individual's condition |
| 20 | Good Genes | | _____ | the alleles of a high-quality individual |
| 21 | Hamilton-Zuk Hypothesis | | _____ | intrasexual competition for access to the other sex for reproduction |

| 24 | Sperm Competition | | _____ | reduction in fitness as a result of mating with close relatives |
| 25 | Cryptic Female Choice | | _____ | females influence the fertilization success of sperm from one male over another male |
| 26 | Inbreeding Depression | | _____ | a location where males aggregate to display to females |
| 27 | Alternative Mating Tactics | | _____ | parasites and pathogens play an important role in sexual selection when secondary sexual traits are costly and condition dependent |

| 31 | Evolutionary Stable Strategy (ESS) | | _____ | the sex that has a greater investment in offspring production should be choosier when it comes to mates |
| 32 | Mate Choice Copying | | _____ | a parasitic mating tactic in which a male remains near a bourgeois male to intercept females that are attracted to the bourgeois male |
