Answer:

The correct answer would be human-induced environmental changes.

Explanation:

The natural selection of the peppered moth is a metamorphic event of a color change in the moth population. It was a result or aftereffect of air pollution during the Industrial Revolution.

Coal fires and industrial revolution cause heavy air pollution. In result, lichens get killed and trees become darker that leads the natural selection of these months.

Thus, the correct answer is human-induced environmental changes.

Industrialisation and domestic coal fires had caused sooty air pollution which had killed off lichens and blackened urban tree trunks and walls. So now it was the pale form of themoth that was more obvious to predators, while the melanic form was better camouflaged and more likely to survive and produce offspring.

andriy [413]

The phenotypic outcome will be pink. Incomplete dominance means none of the traits are dominant, therefore they will not mask each other. As a result, they will produce a new trait. In the case of the snapdragons, red + white = pink.
Genotypic wise, all of the offspring will be heterozygous.

If a hormone is released into the bloodstream and therefore comes into contact with many cells, what determines which cells in t

g100num [7]

Answer:

THE CELL RECEPTOR DETERMINES WHICH CELL RESPOND TO AN HORMONE.

Explanation:

In the endocrine system, the hormones are usually released into the blood stream from where they traveled to their target organs. Even though the hormones meet a lot of cells on their way, they do not bind with just any cell. Hormones bind specifically to cells that have receptors that is meant specifically for the hormone. The cell receptor enables the binding together of the hormone and the cell membrane or the cell surface. After the binding, the hormone then elicit the needed response in the cell.

Why is genetic variation a key components of natural selection and artificial selection?

Setler [38]

Because an organism with a genetic variation may have better chances of breeding and passing on that trait if the trait is beneficial to the survival of that organism. This leads to that trait being passed on and becoming wide-spread over generations of reproduction; natural selection.
