female peacock may choose a partner to create offspring with. what type of evolution can occur when mates are not random.
nonrandom mating
movement/ gene flow
small poplutaion
mutation
natural selection

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "nonrandom mating": The question states mates are not random (female peacock chooses), so this matches.
• "movement/ gene flow": Involves gene transfer via migration, not mate choice. Eliminate.
• "small population": About population size affecting genetics, not mate choice. Eliminate.
• "mutation": Involves DNA changes, not mate selection. Eliminate.
• "natural selection": About environmental fitness, not direct mate choice. Eliminate.

Answer:

A. nonrandom mating
