<u>Answer</u>: Option A Pollution free environment increasing lichen growth.

<u>Explanation</u> :

  • The peppered moth has two varieties dark and light.
  • The difference in colour of these two moths is due to <em>industrial melanism</em> which resulted in the evolution of these moths.
  • Earlier, in a pollution free environment the moths were majorly light coloured as they could easily camouflage against the bark of the tree covered with lichen.
  • However, with industrialization the gases like suplhur dioxide killed the lichens covering the tree and hence, the moths evolved to be of darker color to easily camouflage against the now lichen free dark bark.

Thus, in a <em>pollution free environment </em>the lichen growth will <em>increase</em> and thus, the dark moths will find it difficult to camouflage and hence, <em>there population will decrease.</em>

Photopigment genes are located on the X chromosome. Color blindness occurs when an individual has missing or damaged alleles. A
Hunter-Best [27]

The probability that their son exhibits the 'color blind' trait is 0%. It is a type of inheritance linked to the X chromosome.

<h3>Inheritance linked to the X chromosome</h3>

In men, the patterns of inheritance linked to the X chromosome don't follow conventional mendelian inheritance because men have only one X chromosome.

Conversely, women have two X chromosomes, thereby the inheritance pattern resembles Mendelian inheritance.

It is important to highlight that color blindness is a recessive trait on the X chromosome.

In this case, the mother is a carrier, thereby the probability of passing this trait as a carrier to her son is 50%, whereas the father is normal, thereby the probability of passing this trait to his son is 0%.
