1. the balance between sexual selection and natural selection is exemplified by: (5 points) *

color changes in reptiles
peacocks tail feathers
fish gills
cacti adaptations

Explanation:

1. Chameleons are known for their ability to change color to blend into their environment as a survival trait. Tail length, wing type, and beak shape are not related to blending in for Madagascar's chameleons.
2. Peacocks' tail feathers are a classic example of the balance between sexual selection (attracting mates) and natural selection (survival - the large feathers can be a hindrance in some survival - related aspects). Color changes in reptiles are mainly for camouflage or thermoregulation, fish gills are for respiration, and cacti adaptations are for desert survival, not for the balance of sexual and natural selection.

Answer:

1. Color changing
2. Peacocks' tail feathers
