Does fitness(as used in biology) and survival have the same meaning? Why or why not

Biology
1 answer:
puteri [66]4 years ago
8 0

NO, they are not the same. The fittest individual is not necessarily the strongest, fastest, or biggest.  Fitness also applies to the ability to find a mate and produce offspring. Survival is the form that an individual will leave the most copies of itself in the subsequent generations. Fitness does not include a measure of survival or lifespan. Fitness is measured by an organism's ability to survive and reproduce, which determines the size of its genetic contribution to the next generation.

A good vector to genetically alter respiratory cells might be _______.
AnnyKZ [126]
A good vector to genetically altered respiratory cells might be A VIRUS THAT HAS BEEN GENETICALLY ALTERED TO CARRY NORMAL HUMAN DNA.
Gene therapy is a medical method of treatment which uses genes to prevent or treat diseases. The method is used to correct the defects in genes which is causing a disease. In order to insert a normal gene to replace the defective one, a vector, which will carry the gene is needed. The vector that is usually used in this case is a virus, which has been doctored to carry a normal human DNA.

What happens to the daughter cells produced during mitosis?
julsineya [31]
What happens to the daughter cells produced during mitosis? Well, in mitosis, the host cell makes an exact copy of itself and then splits into two daughter cells which have similar sets of chromosomes.

What is mitosis?

Mitosis is a cell reproduction process in which a parent cell replicates itself, then splits into two daughter cells. These two daughter cells that are produced often have similar, if not the same, numbers and variations of chromosomes as the parent cells. Mitosis mainly is responsible for asexual reproduction in a single-called organism. An example of a biotic factor that undergoes mitosis would be bacteria. Because bacteria is representative of a germ or something that quickly spreads, it would be great to discuss this when referring to the process of mitosis. In bacteria formation, daughter cells branch off of the parent cells and are spread through physical contact.

Your final answer: The daughter cells are created through the division of the parent cell and they have similar or identical chromosomes (because they’re apart of asexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction, the daughter cells look exactly like their parent).
