attractive male trait
female preference
sexually antagonistic genes...
please help me to understand it. Thanks a lot

Attractive male trait: Any trait that makes a male attractive to a female in this particular species/genus.

Female preference: choice of the female between diffrent putative mates. Why a particular female would prefer to mate with one male rather than another

The last I am not sure so I will let other people complete my answer rather tahn making a fool of myself
