Answer:

The correct answer is deletion mutation.

Explanation:

A deletion mutation takes place when a section or a part of the molecule of a DNA does not get copied at the time of the replication of the DNA. This uncopied section can be as large as an entire chromosome, or can be as small as a single nucleotide. The absence of this DNA at the time of replication can result in a genetic disease. A deletion mutation may result in the shifting of a base sequence, making the base sequence's reading frames to modify at the time of translation.

16. Explain why pollution caused the shift in the phenotypes of the peppered moth during the Industrial Revolution. (2pts)
andrey2020 [161]

Answer/Explanation:

Pollution during the industrial revolution caused trees to become covered with soot, making them darker. This dark appearance meant that the peppered moth, which usually had a light colour, was clearly visible against the tree. This meant it was easier for predators to identify. As a result, their numbers decreased because they were an easier target.

However, there was also a rarer form of the moth, which was dark in colour. These were initially very rare. However, because of the change in the tree colour owing to the industrial revolution, these moths were better suited to the environment, as they were more camouflaged against the dark tree. This meant it was easier for them to avoid predators, and so they were more likely to survive to reproductive age and pass on the genes that produce the dark colour.  This meant that the dark moths increased in number.
