The reason for the increase is that the light-colored moths are no longer "selected against" by predators. These birds could only see the light ones against a sooted background. After removing the dark soot, these predators could no longer distinguish the light ones from their natural light background. Thus more light-colored moths survived to reproduce, passing on more of their recessive genes for light color to their offspring. After several hundreds of generations, most of the later generations were light, due to selective advantage of camouflage to survive predation.

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Similarity

Both nervous and endocrine system are similar in a way that they perform the regulatory function in the body and act as regulator in various body functions.

Difference

1. nervous  system uses  electrical impulses (neural)for signaling while endocrine system  uses chemical signals called hormones, which travel through the bloodstream and control the actions of cells and organs.

2. The nervous system can respond quickly to stimuli, through the use of action potentials and neurotransmitters. Responses to nervous system stimulation are typically quick but short lived. The endocrine system responds to stimulation by secreting hormones into the circulatory system that travel to the target tissue.
