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>

Answer:  the contribution an individual makes to the gene pool of the next generation relative to the contribution of another individual.

Explanation:

It is the ability for an organism to reproduce and create viable offspring (offspring live to maturity and which can reproduce themselves). Relative fitness is the survival rate relative to the maximum survival rate with other population.

For example if organism A ends up finding a mate and have babies and organism B does not this means that organism A has more fitness biologically than organism B

Discuss one of the major issues in toxicology from any perspective.
tangare [24]

A controversial issue of toxicology is the use of chemical additives in food.

Food additives are substances intentionally added to foods for the purpose of preserving, enhancing or modifying their physical, chemical, biological or sensory properties without impairing their nutritional value. However, it is necessary to control the use of these substances, as ingestion of these substances may pose health risks.

Additives are found in most processed foods, such as cookies, breakfast cereals, soft drinks, jellies, artificial juices, candies and a host of other foods in the diet of Brazilians, especially children.

Thus, its consumption should be controlled, as the health risk is confirmed by a sum of scientific studies. The three main ills associated with excessive consumption of these substances are cancer, food hypersensitivity and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Some audiences are even more vulnerable to consumption, such as pregnant women, the elderly, people with little food and children under three years. In the case of children the attention should be greater because the digestive and urinary systems are not yet fully prepared to process these substances.

The more industrialized the product, the more chemical additives it will have. The ideal is to prepare fresh products at home. However, as is often not possible, it is important that you read the label and choose the products with the least additives.

Which of the following results when a person’s hand is near an open flame?
Ede4ka [16]

Given what we know, we can confirm that when a person's hand is near an open flame, the brain is required to integrate incoming and outgoing information. Option C is correct.

<h3>What happens when a person's hand is near a flame?</h3>

We can say that the information from the heat being generated by the flame is received by sensory neurons in the person's hand. This information generates a pain response which is integrated as incoming information in the brain, which then produces a motor response to move the hand away from the flame, as an outgoing signal.

Therefore, we can confirm that when a person's hand is near an open flame, the brain is required to integrate incoming and outgoing information. Option C is correct.
