1. The data shows that during mating season, the female is most likely to spend time with the normal tailed swordtail. She she spends less time around male swordtails with all black tails, and the least time around male swordtails with all yellow tails.
2. During mating season, since females want to spend the least time with a male swordtail with an all yellow tail, it’s reasonable to predict that these males will have less chance to mate. Female fish lay their eggs in a nest when they are near a male they want to mate with for fertilization. Unless the all yellow tail is a recessive trait, over time, I would expect that the all-yellow tail swordtails would die off.
