What are the 4 postulates of the theory of evolution? Correct Answer-1. Individuals within populations are variable. 2. Variations are passed from parent to offspring. 3. Some individuals are more successful than others. 4. Survival of certain individuals is not random, but is due to heritable traits. What is relative fitness? Correct Answer-The contribution an individual makes to the gene pool relative to other contributions. What are the components of fitness? Correct Answer-1. Survi...
