a本句的正常語(yǔ)序應(yīng)當(dāng)是：that sex ratio which maximizes the number of descendnts an individuall will have and hence the number of gene copies transmited will be favored.但是因?yàn)橹髡Z(yǔ)that sex　ratio之后的以which引導(dǎo)的修飾它的定語(yǔ)從句,如果按照以上語(yǔ)序,則有頭重腳輕之感。所以原文將此長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的從句倒裝成謂語(yǔ)will be favored之后。

b在which引導(dǎo)的從句中,有兩處省略：第一處在maximize的第一個(gè)賓語(yǔ)the number of descendants that an individuall will have中,　an individuall will have是修飾descendants的定語(yǔ)從句,但是,因?yàn)閐escendants在從句中作have的賓語(yǔ),所以引導(dǎo)詞that可以省略。第二處省略 是在第二個(gè)the number of 之前,省略了與前面一樣的成分that sex ratio which maximizes. and hence在此表示后面的成分作為前面最大化一個(gè)個(gè)體的后代的數(shù)目的結(jié)果。
