The evolution of the peppered moth is an evolutionary instance of directional colour change in the moth population as a consequence of air pollution during the Industrial Revolution. The frequency of dark-coloured moths increased at that time, an example of industrial melanism. Later, when pollution was reduced, the light-coloured form again predominated. Industrial melanism in the peppered moth was an early test of Charles Darwin's natural selection in action, and remains as a classic example in the teaching of evolution. Sewall Wright described it as "the clearest case in which a conspicuous evolutionary process has actually been observed."

Evolution was one cause to why they changed and also because of natural selection

What percentage of offspring from a cross between a homozygous type A parent with a heterozygous Type A parent is expected to co

snow_lady [41]

The correct answer is option B, 50%

Let us take the following case:

Genotype of heterozygous parent - (Aa)

Genotype of homozygous parent – (aa)

Allele I - (Aa)

Allele II – (aa)

The cross between the two is shown below:

Aa X aa

Aa, Aa, aa, aa

There are 50 % Aa, and 50 % aa allele.

Thus, the allele I (Aa) is 50 %.
