A classic example of selection in natural populations involves the peppered moth Biston betularia in England. Industrial gases k

illed the lichens and mosses on buildings, trees, etc., and soot deposited on the landscape. Dark-colored moths gained a selective advantage. In this case, one would say that there was selection against the light-colored moths. Which morph, light or dark, would have the highest fitness? (Enter light or dark in the box below.)

Answer:

Dark colored moth

Explanation:

Moths either dark or light live on the bark of the trees. During industrial revolution in England, excessive pollution caused the darkening of bark of trees. Due to this environmental change, some of the light colored moths evolved and turned into dark colored moths. Both bark and moth being dark in color, made the moths untraceable by their predators. While the light colored moths on dark trees were easily recognizable by their predators.

Hence, the dark colored moths possess high fitness.

Why would you expect an earthworm to lack an exoskeleton??
Murrr4er [49]
You would expect an earthworm to have no exoskeleton because as you see it is very flexible and soft. Organisms with such have body parts that are divided and an earthworm do not have any visible parts on them also having an exoskeleton would not allow an organism to move like an earthworm does.

Which of the following are contributing factors to the extinction of species?
meriva

Answer:

Deforestation

Climate Change

Invasive Species

Explanation:

Seventy percent of the Earth's plant and animals dwell in forests, and deforestation affects them directly. Once their habitat is lost, they are on their way to extinction.

Climate change also causes extinctions not only as a result of species intolerance to high temperature, but more commonly via a variety of related factors that alter a species’ interactions with other species.

Invasive species invade foreign territory. They use resources that the other species depend on. Then naturally one of the species will die off.
