The correct option is A.
Fitness refers to the quantitative representation of natural and sexual selection within an evolution. Fitness can be defined in respect to a genotype or a phenotype. Relative fitness is described as the survival or reproductive rate of a genotype or phenotype relative to maximum survival or reproductive rate of other genotypes in the population. Thus, the fitness of a population can be determined by finding out the number of offspring that survive to adulthood.
I vote c because that's very dangerous
Let us solve first the
phenotype of this problem.
Starchy grain = AA (dominant)
Sugary Corn = aa (recessive)
AA x aa = AaAa ; AaAa
<span> A A</span>
<span>a Aa Aa</span>
<span>a Aa Aa</span>
The result of the cross is
that the progeny will become heterozygous.
<span>If there is 58 progeny
sugary, there will also be 58 starchy. It is 50%.</span>
The answer is <span>They decrease</span>
