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.

What is mostly the reason of an organism having lipids in its body
atroni [7]

The most reason for an organism having lipids in its body is to provide energy to the body. The fat molecules in the lipids can supply more energy gram than carbohydrate molecules. The fat molecules are composed of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) atoms. I hope this will help!! Have a great day.

How does refraction and reflection of light waves help explain the production of a rainbow after a thunderstorm
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

White light is made up of different colors. When white light enters water (like moisture in the air) it is bent (refracted). However the different colors are bent (refracted) by different amounts. So this different amount of bending has the effect of separating the white light into its colors and we see this as a rainbow.
