As the peppered moth evolved over time, its wings changed from light to dark so that it could better hide from predators. The evolution of peppered moth is used an example of natural selection. The evolution of the peppered moth over the last two hundred years has been studied in detail. Originally, the vast majority of peppered moths had light coloration, which effectively camouflaged them against the light-colored trees and lichens which they rested upon. However, because of the wide spread pollution during the Industrial revolution in England, many of the lichens died out, and the trees that peppered moths, or typica, to die off from predation. At the same time, the dark-colored, or melanic, moths, carbonaria, flourished because of their ability to hide on the darkened trees.
After looking at the above diagram given, Enzymes are the molecules that were used to cut, copy, and to connect the DNA segments. The correct answer is 2. Make sure to check the number choices, they are out of order on this particular question.
The correct answer is actin. Microfilaments are made form a ball-shaped protein called actin. These actins are globular proteins who are the ones responsible for the formation of microfilaments. It is mostly found in the eukaryotic cells.
