Ascientist claimed that he had cloned a guinea
pig to produce two offspring, a male and a
female. the claim is not valid because
(1) guinea pigs can reproduce both sexually and
asexually
(2) the two offspring are not identical copies of
the original guinea pig
(3) each of the offspring had half the genetic
information of the original guinea pig
(4) none of the genetic information came from
the original guinea pig

A scientist claimed that he had cloned a guinea pig to produce two offspring, a male and a female. The claim is not valid because (2) the two offspring are not identical copies of the original guinea pig.

Explanation:

not necessarily. higher fitness requires the organism to be reproductive successful. for example, an organism at age 10 with 15 offspring is much more fit than an organism at age 15 with only 5 offspring.
