In the peppered moth scenarios what is the variation? And the selection?

Biology

Morgarella [4.7K]3 years ago

Variation is number of alleles for the wing color of the peppered moths. The wing color ranges from pure white to pure back.

Selection pressure is predation by birds.

Explanation:

In the wake of the industrial revolution, white-winged peppered moths had a large allelic frequency in the population compared to black-winged peppered moths. However, when the environment changed due to soot produced by industries (making the environment darker) white-winged peppered moths reduced while that of black moths increased.

This is because black moths were able to blend in and camouflage in the dark environment than white-winged peppered moths that stood out to their predators. Black moths, therefore, had an increased chance of reaching adulthood and passing their genes to the next generation. This increased the allelic frequency of black-winged peppered while that of white-winged moths reduced in the population.

<h3>⇝ <u>Epidermis</u> :</h3>

Protective tissues includes epidermis & cork. Epidermis is basically a simple permanent tissue, protective in function. It forms one-cell-thick covering over all the parts of plant.

<h3>⇝ <u>Characteristics of Epidermis</u> : </h3>
  • Epidermis is formed of living cells, arranged in a single layer.

  • In aerial parts, epidermis is covered with a waterproof and noncellular waxy covering called cuticle.

  • Cells form a continuous layer, but in leaves epidermis has small openings called stomata.

  • Each stoma is guarded by a pair of bean-shaped guard cells which govern opening & closing of stomatal aperture.

<h3>⇝ <u>Functions of Epidermis</u> :</h3>
  • Epidermis protects the underlying tissues from mechanical injury, chemicals & infection.

  • Cuticle of epidermis protects against water loss & desiccation. It checks the rate of transpiration & evaporation and prevents wilting.

  • Stomata in the epidermis of leaves help in gaseous exchange during respiration & photosynthesis.

DaniilM [7]
The correct answer is: marsupials.

Marsupials are actually defined by their ability to hold the young in the pouches, where they can be well protected. Some examples are Kangaroos and Koalas.


Other answers are wrong: for example, gymnosperms are plants, not animals.

jonny [76]
Emir is most probably taking a class on human anatomy. Human anatomy involves all the structures in the composition of the human body. Human anatomy can be studied either by systems (i.e. cardiovascular system, respiratory system, etc.) or by regions (i.e. thoracic anatomy, abdominal anatomy, pelvic anatomy, head and neck anatomy, etc.) depending on the course.
