Answer:

Natural Selection

Explanation:

Answer 2

The ability of crickets to communicate by chirping and its association with finding a mate is an example of natural selection.

• Natural selection is a method of evolution and adaptation through which the survival of a species is aided
• It enables the propagation of certain desirable traits while suppressing those qualities that could potentially harm the species as a whole
• The ability of the crickets that allows them to chirp and communicate is unique. It indicates the presence of a healthy mate. This ability also helps the insect indicate the presence of danger and is also used to feed on smaller animals
• A cricket that is unable to chirp indicates that they are not fit. Propagation of their genes could potentially cause harm to future generations. Since mating is also tied to the ability to chirp, this does not occur
