Answer:

Option A. Because of the soot covering everything, the dirtier darker moths will be eaten less often, allowing them to reproduce and pass their genes on to the next generation.

Explanation: Sooth is the black powder which is produced due to incomplete combustion of carbon containing compounds. In the england, before industrial revolution, the population of white peppered moth were high due to clean environment and unable to see by the birds during night. When industrial revolution occurs, there is sooth spread on all the trees which is black in color so the population of black peppered moth increases because they can't be seen in the dark by the birds and population of white peppered moth decreases due to easily seen by the birds.

Cancer cells are anaplastic in that they "form backward" to an earlier de-differentiated state. the cells have nuclei that vary

soldier1979 [14.2K]

The cells have nuclei that vary in size and shape, termed pleomorphism.

Pleomorphism is usually defined in biology as the occurrence of multiple structural forms during the life cycle of an organism. In anaplasia, it represents multiple structural forms of nuclei. Pleomorphism is a characteristic feature found in malignant neoplasms, and dysplasia, but it can also be found in certain benign cell types.

Fossils almost never contain DNA. So how can we know how closely or distantly related fossil organsims are to living organisms

Nostrana [21]

While it's true that Fossils hardly even contain DNA, they can still provide numerous clues in order to identify and verify an organism.

For example, in terms of Dinosaurs, their bones and fossils have provided enough evidence to provide an evolutionary link with modern birds.

Carbon dating is another way to find the age of a fossil which provides more information on it's surrounding habitat and the animals it interacted with.
