Question
How does the mean relative fitness change from one generation to the next in response to selection, assuming the population is not in HW equilibrium and the relative fitness of each genotypes does not change? (hint: try calculating the mean fitness of the second generation in the example given in the slides)
Mean relative fitness fluctuates randomly between generations
Mean relative fitness is always constant from one generation to the next
Mean relative fitness is always increasing from one generation to the next
Mean relative fitness is always decreasing from one generation to the next
Mean relative fitness fluctuates randomly between generations
Mean relative fitness is always constant from one generation to the next
Mean relative fitness is always increasing from one generation to the next
Mean relative fitness is always decreasing from one generation to the next
Explanation / Answer
When the traits favoring the survival of the organisms, along with the sexual selection of an individual makes the reproductive rate high, which eventually leads to the increase mean relative fitness.
Hence, the correct option is The mean relative fitness increases from one generation to next.
