The fertile females theory has been used to explain the transmission of genes that promote
A. erotic plasticity.
B. a same-sex sexual orientation.
C. female orgasmic disorder.
D. refractory periods.
Answer (2)
The fertile females theory suggests that certain traits, like same-sex sexual orientation, may promote genetic success through kin selection rather than direct reproduction. This theory highlights the role of altruism and support within familial relationships, impacting the prevalence of these traits. It also touches upon sexual behaviors such as female orgasmic disorder and reproductive dynamics. ;
The fertile females theory explains how certain genes, particularly those promoting same-sex sexual orientation, may be transmitted through the support and altruistic behavior of individuals towards their relatives. This means that even if an individual does not reproduce, their actions can still contribute positively to the gene pool. Thus, the correct answer is B. a same-sex sexual orientation.
