The correct option is A.
Fitness refers to the quantitative representation of natural and sexual selection within an evolution. Fitness can be defined in respect to a genotype or a phenotype. Relative fitness is described as the survival or reproductive rate of a genotype or phenotype relative to maximum survival or reproductive rate of other genotypes in the population. Thus, the fitness of a population can be determined by finding out the number of offspring that survive to adulthood.

Answer:

Isotonic contractions maintain constant tension in the muscle as the muscle changes length. This can occur only when a muscle's maximal force of contraction exceeds the total load on the muscle. Isotonic muscle contractions can be either concentric (muscle shortens) or eccentric (muscle lengthens).

vaieri [72.5K]
“Diffusion sees molecules in an area of high concentration move to areas with a lower concentration, while osmosis refers to the process by which water, or other solvents, moves through a semipermeable membrane, leaving other bits of matter in its wake.”
