Assuming that this question makes reference to the survivability of the two moth variations, we can confirm that the brown-colored moth will be better adapted to survive in the winter months.

<h3>Why are the brown moths more likely to survive?</h3>

This has to do with their ability to better hide from predators. As described in the question, their primary predator are birds that hunt them while resting on the tree bark. This means that the white-colored moths will stand out against the dark tree bark and be easier prey for the birds. This will eventually lead to all the moths in the area being brown-colored through the process of natural selection.  

Therefore, we can confirm that the brown-colored moth will be better adapted to survive in the winter months due to their ability to hide from predators.

Answer:

Legionella tends to form biofilms and infect other microbial cells as intracellular pathogens.

Explanation:

The Legionella genus of the bacteria is a group of gram-negative bacteria that can cause legionnaires disease.

The<em> Legionella pneumophila</em> is a species of this genus which can cause legion pneumonia. The bacteria lives in the freshwater and is resistant to chemical treatment like chlorine and the biocide treatment.

The reason for this resistance is since this species form a polysaccharide layer around the colony of the bacteria which is resistant to these treatments and also the bacteria prove parasitic to the protozoans which feed on these bacteria.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.

We know that fertilizier could promote the growth of the plant

When washed to the river, it will accelerate the growth of the water plant that exist within that area,
This occurrence will be not beneficial to the water animal because their habitat will be unnaturally blocked by these plants
