Answer: best adapted to the environment

Explanation: fitness can be thought of as fit for purpose. The most fit for purpose organism is the one best adapted to its environment.

Nevertheless, all the options are characteristic of adaptation

It is not particularly useful to discuss natural selection in terms of individuals and not populations. An advantageous mutation in one individual is the theoretical starting point for a better adapted population, but adaptation happens in a population very slowly if at all if it depends on a single individual. The smaller the population, the higher the probability that the adaptation will be eliminated by chance.

If nondisjunction occurs in meiosis ii during gametogenesis, what will be the result at the completion of meiosis?
klasskru [66]

During gametogenesis, if nondisjunction occurs in meiosis II (meaning that that at least one pair of sister chromatids did not separate), the resultant effect will be two cells that has the normal haploid number of chromosomes (n), one cell that has an extra chromosome (n + 1), and one cell that has one missing chromosome (n - 1). In summary, two of the gametes will be n, one will be n + 1, one will be n — 1.
