Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

In biology, fitness refers to the ability of an organism to survive, reproduce, mate and support evolution through gene transfer. A fitness of 0.28 signifies that only 28 percent of a given population are fit physically and able to reproduce while the remaining 72 % are unable to mate and hence cannot reproduce  and contribute towards gene flow and evolution.

Hence, option B is correct

Which of these processes is LEAST associated with producing genetic abnormalities? A) deletion B) nondisjunction C) replication
Marat540 [252]
The answer is (C) Replication

Though occasional errors could occur in cells during replication; the cells have error checking and proofing mechanisms that reduce the rate of error to one to several million replications in higher eukaryotes.
After all, one mismatch error during replication would not result in major effects. The others choices, however, have higher rates of causing genetic abnormalities.
