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.

There are marked differences in the type of organisms found at four different locations at the same tidal height along ta rocky
yawa3891 [41]

Answer and Explanation:

Many elements can be responsible for this, among them, we can mention the presence and absence of predators in the different places on the rocky coast. This is because predators can influence not only the number of organisms found, but also the types of organisms.

Another element that may be the cause of this variability is the availability of resources necessary for the life of these organisms, in addition, the impact of the waves on the rocks, can cause the variability of the organisms, since some may not be able to resist the impact of the waves.

The plants that were allowed to self pollinate were the First filial generation, filial, Latin for family. Or just the F1 generation plants.

The plants that are true breeding are Parental generation or for shorthand, the P generation plants.

The plants where there were three times as many tall plants as short plants are in the second filial generation, or the F2 generation.

This question is based on the Mendel’s Experiment.

Sir Gregor Johann Mendel.
