hey mate ,

may it help you.

Answer 2

The existence of deleterious genes within the population is called genetic load.

• "Genetic load" is the stretch to which the individual's fitness is much lower than the optimum for the population as a whole due to the deleterious alleles that the individual carries in its genome.
• The average number of fatal mutations concerning a population's individual is portrayed through the genetic load.
• If G is genetic load, w refers to the average fitness of a population and W is the maximum fitness of the population, then G = W - w/W.
• Thus "genetic load" is the correct answer for the above statement.
