Medical - Genetics
English term or phrase: fitness
An evolunotiary gene is a theoretical entity in the same sense that an organism's 'fitness' is a theoretical entity. The postulation of 'fitness' is justified by the ability to estimate them and to use them in a powerful predictive theory - population genetics. The postulation of 'fitness' is justified by the ability to estimate them and to use them in a powerful prdictive theory - population genetics. the theoretical value of fitnesses is not impugned by the inability to identify them with speficic structures at a lower level of analysis. An organism inherits its fitness from its fit parents, but not as a DNA sequence coding for that fitness.

Darwin określił to jako "survival of the fittest" - "przetrwanie najlepiej dostosowanego".

Może też być "przystosowanie" (synonim).

Przeżywa więc osobnik najlepiej przystosowany. Darwin nazwał to "the survival of the fittest".

neutral  Ania Heasley: Jezeli tlumaczymy fitness jako dostosowanie to darwinowskie survival of the fittest staje sie przetrwaniem najbardziej dostosowanych, hmmm, wedlug mnie to troche zmienia sens slynnego zwrotu....

  -> W darwinowskim "survival of the fittest" chodzi dokładnie o przetrwanie najlepiej dostosowanych/przystosowanych - nie ma tu żadnej zmiany sensu słynnego zwrotu, bo sens tego słynnego zwrotu jest właśnie taki (powyżej potwierdzenia).
