Here's a breakdown:
* Survive: This means living long enough to reach reproductive age.
* Reproduce: This means producing offspring that can also survive and reproduce.
Key points about biological fitness:
* It's relative: Fitness is not an absolute measure, but rather a comparison to other individuals in the same population.
* It's about passing on genes: The goal of fitness is to pass on your genes to the next generation.
* It's influenced by many factors: Environmental factors, like availability of food and resources, play a huge role, as do traits like physical strength, disease resistance, and the ability to attract mates.
