Imagine that you had two populations of red-tailed hawks one with long tail feathers, the other with short tail feathers. Mating discrimination in this species could entail either hawks with long tail feathers preferentially mating with other hawks that have long tail feathers, or hawks with short tail feathers preferentially mating with other hawks that have short tail feathers. True or False

    FALSE

    Explanation:

    Why?

    Mating discrimination, would entail that males with the more preferred length of tail feather (i. e long or short), would have the most likely chance of mating with females of either length of tail feather. This could also possibly hint a dominance of the preferred trait over the other, either short or long. In summary, mating discrimination would only affect the chances of male red-tailed hawks to mate, if they do not possess the preferred trait.
