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

What are the two types of biological interactions?
kaheart [24]

Answer: They can be either of the same species (intraspecific interactions), or of different species (interspecific interactions). These effects may be short-term, like pollination and predation, or long-term; both often strongly influence the evolution of the species involved. A long-term interaction is called a symbiosis.

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

In the case of cardiovascular diseases, the main causes are sedentary lifestyle, stress, nutrition (consumption of junk food and low consumption of high-fiber foods), diabetes, high blood pressure, overweight. In the case of poor nutrition, it happens that the increase in cholesterol that we call "bad" LDL occurs and the "good" HDL cholesterol that is protective and sweeps the bad that covers the blood vessels is not increased. Taking into account diabetes, the excess glucose produced in the body, glycosylates the LDL particle, which also obstructs the passage of blood flow through the vessels.
