Question
which of the following is true about individuals with the highest fitness? allele frequency will decrease in the population reproduce at a lower rate reproduce at a much higher rate
In evolutionary biology, fitness refers to an organism's ability to survive and reproduce. Individuals with higher fitness are more likely to pass on their genes. This means they reproduce at a higher rate. If their alleles (gene variants) are being passed on more frequently, the allele frequency of those alleles would increase, not decrease. And higher - fitness individuals do not reproduce at a lower rate.
