The correct answer is <span>the contribution an individual makes to the gene pool of the next generation relative to the contribution of another individual.
Each individual in a population has an absolute fitness which is a measure of the successfulness of an individual in reproducing and leaving viable offspring. The relative fitness, on the other hand, is the relative fitness of the individual compared with another individual, usually the one with the highest fitness. </span>
The significance of the spore formation during the reproductive cycle of the bacterium is that, it provide a defensive strategy against hostile and unfavorable conditions. The spore formation allows the bacterium to reproduce and spread even when the conditions are not favorable. The spore formation also make it possible for the bacterium to remain dormant over a long period of time during unfavorable conditions, waiting for the right conditions to become active again.
Go to the Prenatal Testing page for more details. If one parent has sickle cell trait (HbAS) and the other has sickle cell anaemia (HbSS) there is a one in two(50%) chance that any given child will get sickle cell trait and a one in two chance that any given child will get sickle cell anaemia.
Cross pollination is the transfer of pollen of different species to stigma of different species of plants.
Cross pollination results in healthy, viable and diverse plants.
Mendel observed that traits could either be dominant or recessive.
Blended traits or incomplete dominance is the condition in which dominant allele could not produce its trait alone instead blending with recessive allele takes place giving new phenotype to progeny.
Explanation:
In cross pollination pollen transfer takes place from anthers to stigma. In Mendelian genetics the anthers of the plant was removed because it has both male and female parts on same plant so that self pollination does not take place.
The importance of cross pollination is that it creates diversity in the plant species since the traits having different alleles are combined to form the progeny plant. The offspring are healthier and high quality seeds are found.
Mendel observed that traits are either dominant or recessive in general. It was observed that when homozygous parents were crossed, the progeny in F1 generation always had dominant trait. The recessive trait only appeared when F1 generation offspring were self pollinate.
Blended traits or incomplete dominance appear when alleles get blended and exhibit the traits in phenotype. The phenotype appeared will not be matching with either parents.
The example is a white coloured flower is crossed with red colour flower the resultant colour of the flower is pink. It shows that dominant allele red is not completely dominant and gets blended with white colour.

iam sorry about the others their answers are not in the paragraph
