In the
evolutionary sense fitness refers to the measure of reproductive success of an
individual or of organisms in general. Those organisms that leave the largest
number of mature offspring are the fittest. Fitness can be achieved through survival
or mortality selection, mating success or sexual selection, and family size or
fecundity selection. Fitness is critical for a species’ survival and is a major
adaptation that all organisms do through a long period of time. <span> </span></span>
Hereditary mutation - may be passed to another generation, occurs in gametes, variation that may enhance survival.
Somatic mutation - not passed from generation to generations, occurs in body cells.
Both- changes in DNA.
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
Mutations are defined as sudden changes in DNA that takes place by changing a particular nucleotide or a portion of DNA, or even a whole chromosome which has potential to change characters of an organism. Mutation was first proposed by Hugo de Vries who is also known as the Father of Mutation Theory.
Mutations can occur in any cell of body. It may occur in somatic cells, or in germ mother cells. But the mutations that occur in germ mother cells are actually the mutations that are carried forward by the gametes into next generations. Mutation in somatic cells get obliterated as the organism dies. And the Mutation in gamete cells are those mutations which are capable to cause variations in progenies which can led to better survival of the progenies.
I think the answer is evolution.
After passing through the cornea, light travels through the pupil (the black dot in the middle of the eye). The iris—the circular<span>, colored area of the eye that surrounds the pupil—controls the amount of light that enters the eye.</span>
