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

laila [671]

Explanation:

If a man who's a carrier for albinism marries an albino what percentage of their children will be albinos, however if both parents carry the gene, there's a 1 in 4 chance that their child will have albinism and a 1 in 2 chance that their child will be a carrier. Carriers do not have albinism but can pass on the gene.

If parents supplied different alleles for a certain trait to their offspring, What following terms would be used to describe the
My name is Ann [436]
When parents provide a different allele of a given gene, then the offspring is called as heterozygous for that allele.  Alleles turn out phenotypes or physical versions of an attribute that are either dominant or recessive.
The dominance or recessivity related to a specific allele is the result of masking, by that, a dominant phenotype hides a recessive phenotype. By this logic, in heterozygous offspring, solely the dominant phenotype is apparent.

What would happen if a cell did not have mitochondrial
Usimov [2.4K]
Cells that have no mitochondria are unable to convert oxygen into energy, found in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). All multicellular eukaryotic organisms, including plants and animals, have mitochondria in some cells, but prokaryotes and some single-cell eukaryotes do not have mitochondria.
