Polygynous

In polygyny, one male mates with more than one female in a single breeding season, but females mate only with one male.

In species with male-male competition, males are often substantially larger than females, a phenomenon called sexual dimorphism.

3 or 4 cGMP molecules must bind to each channel in order to open it; because of this cooperative allosteric interaction, channel opening is very sensitive to small changes in cGMP levels.
