Answer: A) Dark moths had a survival disadvantage in industrial Dorset.

-----

This question can be solely answered using the data you're given! The graph is broken down by place, and then moth type.

In forested Birmingham, the green bar for the light moth is much higher than the orange one for the dark moth. That means the light moth had a survival advantage (eliminating option D) and the dark moths had a survival disadvantage (eliminating option C).

In industrialized Dorset, the green bar for the light moth is much lower than the orange one for the dark moth. That means the light moths were at a survival disadvantage (eliminating option B). The dark moths were are a survival advantage, but option A says "disadvantage," which is clearly wrong! That makes A your answer.

A) Dark moths had a survival disadvantage in industrial Dorset.

Dark moths had a survival disadvantage in industrial Dorset. After the introduction of industry, the dark moth population remained approximately the same in Dorset to Birmingham. However, the light moths in the rural area still had a much larger population.

How do plants help the earth

vodomira [7]

Plants produce oxygen this oxygen gas which is important part of our air is gas that plants and animals must have in order to stay alive when people breeze it's the auction that we take out of the air into our cells and blood is there taking into the alveoli and this is where gas exchange takes place all the o2 available for living organisms come from plants

Jake wants to enrich the nitrogen content of his soil through fixation. Which crop can he use for this purpose? wheat sugarcane

inn [45]

The appropriate answer is D. Alfalfa. Alfalfa is a legume and these plants play a key role in the nitrogen cycle. These plants house nitrogen fixing bacteria on their roots. The bacteria are housed in tiny round structures of leguminous plant roots. Once the nitrogen is fixed in the soil it can now be used by other plants to make food. These plants include beans peas and peanuts.

Choose the true statement(s) about mutations. To be marked correct, you'll need to select all true statements, as there may be m

Kazeer [188]

Answer

All four options ( A,B,C,D ) are true about mutations.

Explanation:

A- Mutation can provide an evolutionary benefits

As mutation helps in creating DNA sequence ,new allele(variant of gene) for a specific gene , thus mutations is known to be the first step of evolution.

B- Mutation leads to genetic and phenotypic variation within the species.

In mutation, genetic variation (difference between individual/population) takes place as new alleles are created ,random matings ,fertilization and during meiosis , recombination of homologous chromosomes. One of the type of mutation called gene mutation give rise to genetic variations.

Its an exceptional case of phenotypic variations ,as mostly there is no effect of mutation on phenotypic variation. Very few mutations lead to phenotype variation and in case mutation takes place in phenotype variation ,making the organism well suited to the environment, the a rapid change in the characterstics of the individual species is seen.

C- In humans, the somatic cell mutation are not passed in offsprings.

Somatic cells are present in all over the body except in the cells that give rise to gametes( ie. egg and sperm cells) and produces offsprings . Thus somatic cells are absent in gametic cells ,therefore mutation cannot be passed to human's offsprings or children.

D- Evolution rates are faster in bacteria than in humans because most mutations in human cells are silent.

Due to their fast growth ,bacteria evolve quickly and share genes with each other and even between the species ,also the mutation that are helpful spread faster in bacteria.

In humans, the silent mutation in human cells cause many genetic disorders like Laron dwarfism. About 99.8% genes are silent mutation.
