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.

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.

ddd [48]
Incorporating basic life support, the first thing one should do is survey the scene. Look for any obstacles that will make the response difficult such as shattered glass, fire, etc. Second, call emergency hotline (usually it's 911 but it may differ from other countries). If you are a certified basic life support provider, then continue with the next steps. Next step would be checking the patient's airway, breathing, and circulation (ABC) by checking the if there is blocking the airway, or if the patient can breathe spontaneously, as well as the pulse. Next step would be assess if the patient as a cervical fracture as this should be handled carefully. If the patient is not breathing or has no/decreased pulse then proceed with doing CPR until help arrives.
