All BUT ONE statement is supported by Kettlewell's data. That is A) Dark moths had a survival disadvantage in industrial Dorset.
B) Light moths had a survival advantage in forested Birmingham. C) Light moths had a survival disadvantage in industrial Dorset. D) Dark moths had a survival disadvantage in forested Birmingham.
Option A) Dark moths had a survival disadvantage in industrial Dorset. is wrong and all other options are correct
<h2>Explanation:</h2>
Dr. Henry Bernard Davis Kettlewell was a the scientist who demonstrated that if natural selection caused the change in the moth population, the following must be true:
Heavily polluted forests will have mostly dark peppered moths.
The majority of light peppered moth will be present in clean forests.
The birds will eat dark moths present on light trees more likely than light moths. And visa versa.
The dark moths present in polluted forests will live longer, but in case of clean forest light peppered moth will live longer than dark moth.
Result: option A) "Dark moths had a survival disadvantage in industrial Dorset" is wrong statement.
A) Dark moths had a survival disadvantage in industrial Dorset.
Explanation:
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.

Telomeres are the caps at the end of each strand of DNA that protect our chromosomes, like the plastic tips at the end <span>of shoelaces.</span>
Without the coating, shoelaces become frayed until they can no longer do their job, just as without telomeres, DNA strands become damaged and our cells can’t do <span>their job.</span>
