Question
Consider three genotypes whose lifetime reproductive values are 0.75, 1.2 and 1.5. What are their corresponding relative fitness values?
Relative fitness is each individual genotype's fitness divided by the sum of the fitness of all genotypes in the population: namely, 0.75/(0.75+1.2+1.5), 1.2/(0.75+1.2+1.5), and 1.5/(0.75+1.2+1.5), respectively
Relative fitness is the ratio of individual genotype's fitness to the most fit genotype in the population: namely, 0.75/1.5, 1.2/1.5 and 1.4/1.5, respectively.
The values provided are the relative fitness values (no need to transform them).
Relative fitness is the ratio of individual genotype's fitness to the average fitness of all genotypes in the population: namely, 0.75/average(0.75,1.2,1.5), 1.2/average(0.75,1.2,1.5), and 1.5/average(0.75,1.2,1.5), respectively
A.Relative fitness is each individual genotype's fitness divided by the sum of the fitness of all genotypes in the population: namely, 0.75/(0.75+1.2+1.5), 1.2/(0.75+1.2+1.5), and 1.5/(0.75+1.2+1.5), respectively
B.Relative fitness is the ratio of individual genotype's fitness to the most fit genotype in the population: namely, 0.75/1.5, 1.2/1.5 and 1.4/1.5, respectively.
C.The values provided are the relative fitness values (no need to transform them).
D.Relative fitness is the ratio of individual genotype's fitness to the average fitness of all genotypes in the population: namely, 0.75/average(0.75,1.2,1.5), 1.2/average(0.75,1.2,1.5), and 1.5/average(0.75,1.2,1.5), respectively
Explanation / Answer
The answer is B. Relative fitness is the ratio of individual genotype's fitness to the most fit genotype in the population: namely, 0.75/1.5, 1.2/1.5 and 1.4/1.5, respectively.
The answer is B. Relative fitness is the ratio of individual genotype's fitness to the most fit genotype in the population: namely, 0.75/1.5, 1.2/1.5 and 1.4/1.5, respectively.
