24It is a trait that confers higher fitness to individuals than other existing alternatives within the population. It has (or will) spread through the population as a result of natural selection. Which term is here referred to?

38Issue with X-linked gene producing red-green colour vision deficiency affects more men than women. Why?
- ABecause women's genes are able to compensate for the deficiency
- BBecause men are not able to compensate for the deficiency, due to a lack of X chromosome
- CBecause men are highly affected by it due to their increased chances of inheriting recessive genes
- DWomen do experience this too, although are too scared to report it
