What is relative fitness? correct answers the survival and/or reproductive rate of a genotype (or phenotype) relative to the maximum survival and/or reproductive rate of other genotypes in the population. Name the obstacles of passing on genes (agents of selection) correct answers Survival: find food, avoid predators/parasites, compete/cooperate with others, protection from the elements Reproduction: find mate, surplus of energy to make offspring, care for offspring, defend mating territory ...

Eugenics - ️️The science of improving a human population by controlled breeding to increase the occurrence of desirable heritable characteristics. Developed largely by Francis Galton as a method of improving the human race, it fell into disfavor only after the perversion of its doctrines by the Nazis. Genomic imprinting - ️️Phenomenon by which certain genes are expressed in a parent-of-origin-specific manner. If the allele inherited from the father is imprinted, it is thereby silenced...

Which of the following is a true statement about a human zygote? correct answers This diploid cell contains all of the genetic information for the individual it will become. Which of the following sets of statements is true of a homologous pair of chromosomes? correct answers They have the same genes but unique alleles.
