Dog variation or fish variation - explain how these variations appearance affect their fitness-the rate of survival and reproduction.
Give only typing answer with explanation and conclusion
1. A common misconception about evolution is that it always leads to organisms getting "better" in some way.
a) What is one kind of evolutionary process that consistently causes average individual fitness to increase?
b) Discuss three evolutionary processes that can lead to mean individual fitness going down.

Answer the question below.
Explain what Dawkins says selection is acting on in chapter 2 and how that variation is distributed throughout a population (gene pool) (blending vs. independent assortment).
