The reason for the loss of color after the industrial revolution is that the light-colored moths were "selected against" by predators. These birds could only see the light ones against the newly dark, sooted background. Over time, these predators could no longer distinguish the dark ones from their natural dark, sooted background. Thus more light-colored moths stood out against the dark soot, and were eaten. And more dark-colored moths eluded the birds, survived to reproduce, passing on more of their dominant genes for dark color to their offspring. After several decades of hundreds of thousands of generations, most of the later generations were dark, due to selective advantage of camouflage to survive predation.
It is called genetic engineering
Answer:
Genetic mapping for unequivocal identification of the potentially causative mutation
Explanation:
Galactosemia is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the Galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (GALT) gene, which encodes an enzyme involved in the metabolism of galactose. Gene mapping is a technique widely used in genetics to identify the position of one locus a chromosome by using molecular markers to estimate genetic distances. Genetic mapping provides useful evidence in order to identify when a disease that is transmitted from parent to offspring can be associated with one or more genes and then determine which gene/s is/are responsible for this condition.
Answer:
Vector
Explanation:
<u>Diseases can be transmitted by the mechanical or the biological vector. Vector is an animal (typically can be called as an arthropod) which carries disease from one host to another. </u>
Mechanical transmission is the one in which an animal which carries the pathogen from on host body to the another without being infected by it. It is facilitated by the mechanical vector.
Biological transmission is th eone which occurs when pathogen reproduces within the biological vector which transmits pathogen from one host body to the another.
