The answer is d. The population of light-colored moths decreased and the population of dark-colored moths increased.

<span>Peppered moth color variation is a good example of natural selection. During the Industrial revolution, due to pollution, trees become darker in the urban area. Light-colored moths were, thus, easy prey. The dark-colored moths were able to camouflage on dark trees and avoid predators. The phenomenon is known as industrial melanism. So, in polluted urban areas, the number of dark-colored peppered moths increased. In the clean environment, were much effective in hiding from predators and they outnumbered the dark-colored moths.</span>

Which statement is not true?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

b) Reptiles, birds, and some mammals produce amniote eggs.

Explanation:

All the mammals produce amniotic eggs. An amniotic egg is an egg that has four extraembryonic membranes including amnion. Amnion is a fluid-filled sac that serves as a cushion and does not allow the egg to desiccate. Since mammals are land animals, they have amniotic eggs to prevent any damage to the embryo from desiccation and physical injury.
