A. Genetics

Cancer is a range of diseases that occur when cell division becomes uncontrollable and continues indefinitely. It can effect many different parts of the body such as the lungs, liver, skin and throat. One factor that can cause the cell cycle to lose control is genetic predisposition. You are more likely to get cancer if your close relatives have had the disease in the past.

Prior to the industrial revolution in the mid-1800s, a species of moth had light-colored wings speckled with small black spots.
KatRina [158]

Answer:

The dark colored moths were due to a genetic mutation, and were more than likely present before the Industrial Revolution. Their fitness was low because predators could easily see them on the light-colored trees. They would be eaten before they could reproduce and pass on their genetic mutation. After the trees became darkened by soot, the darker colored moths now had the survival advantage, able to "hide" from predators. The lighter colored moths became more visible to predators, and the advantage shifted. Now, the light colored moths were more visible to predators, were eaten, and didn't have the chance to reproduce. The darker moths with the mutation had the survival advantage, blending in with the soot-covered trees, and were able to reproduce at higher rates, passing the mutation on to later generations.

Gg and gg will most likely be the parental cross.

This is because G is dominant over g, meaning that the cross of G dominating g will happen one in two of every offspring, in other words, meaning that 50% of the offspring will have grey fur.
