Compare Natural selection and sexual selection by completing the table?

Natural Selection vs. Sexual Selection | Aspect | Natural Selection | Sexual Selection | |----------------------|------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------| | Definition | The process where organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce. | A form of selection arising from the preference of one sex for specific traits in the other sex. | | Mechanism | Driven by environmental factors and survival advantages. | Driven by mate choice and competition for mates. | | Examples | Camouflage, resistance to disease, and resource acquisition. | Bright plumage in birds, elaborate courtship behaviors, and antlers in male deer. | | Outcome | Increases overall fitness and adaptation of the population. | Enhances reproductive success, potentially at the cost of survival. |
