Options

  1. A1000 : 1000
  2. B1001 : 999
  3. C999 : 1001
  4. D989 : 1011

Correct answer

A. 1000 : 1000

Step-by-step solution

According to Fisher's principle, the most common evolutionary stable strategy (ESS) for the sex ratio in a population is 1:11:1.

If one sex becomes less common, it will have a reproductive advantage, leading to increased production of that sex until the ratio balances out again. Thus, the stable ratio of males to females is equal.

Among the given options, 1000:10001000 : 1000 represents the 1:11:1 ratio.
