explain

解释: a. 本句的正常语序应当是:That sex ratio which maximizes the number of descendants an individual will have and hence the number of gene copies transmitted will be favored. 但是因为主语That sex ratio之后的以which引导的修饰它的定语从句太长,如果按照以上语序,则有头重脚轻之感。所以原文将此长长的从句倒装到谓语will be favored之后。

b. 在which引导的从句中,有两处省略:第一处是在maximize的第一个宾语the number of descendants that an individual will have中,an individual will have是修饰descendants的定语从句,但是因为descendants在从句中作have的宾语,所以引导词that可以省略。第二处省略是在第二个the number of之前,省略了与前面一样的成分maximizes。“and hence”在此表示后面的成分作为前面“最大化一个个体的后代的数目的”结果。
