The total population graphs below display the results of two different five-year hunting cycles, one on light trees and one on d

ark trees. How do these results demonstrate natural selection?
a.
The moth populations shown here demonstrate random fluctuations over time that are not explained by tree color.
b.
The moths that are a different color than the trees in their environment thrive over time due to camouflage, and their populations increase.
c.
The moths that are the same color as the trees in their environment thrive over time due to camouflage, and their populations increase.
d.
The graphs actually show a result that is opposite of what is expected from natural selection.

Answer:

The most appropriate answer would be option c.

Natural selection refers to the natural phenomenon which leads to the evolution through differential reproduction.

Differential reproduction refers to the different rates of reproduction of organisms in a population.

The organisms which are better adapted to the environment or have better traits tend to survive and reproduce more as compared to the other organisms.

Over the generations, the traits become common in the entire population.  

For example, having the same color as that of the tree gives the survival advantage to the moth due to camouflage. Consequently, the same color population increases in size while the contrasting color population decreases.

Maslowich

Answer:

The biggest advantage is that they have a higher resolution and are therefore also able of a higher magnification (up to 2 million times). Light microscopes can show a useful magnification only up to 1000-2000 times. This is a physical limit imposed by the wavelength of the light.

The water hyacinth is an invasive species that can spread extremely fast, blanketing a water surface in a very short period of t
Veseljchak [2.6K]

1Answer:

The correct answer is - D. how changes in biodiversity impact an ecosystem.

Explanation:

The water hyacinth is an invasive plant species that rapidly grows and creates a thick layer over the water surface in almost every aquatic ecosystem. The growth of the layer of this species causes problems to the environment, ecosystem, humans, and other species.

These aquatic plants reduce the oxygen level and other nutrients from the ecosystem it is introduced and affect the biodiversity by increasing heavy metals and contaminants.

The layer of this plant inhibits photosynthesis that decreases sugar and energy production and blocks the boat and ship movements and economically as well.
