The reason for the loss of color after the industrial revolution is that the light-colored moths were "selected against" by predators. These birds could only see the light ones against the newly dark, sooted background. Over time, these predators could no longer distinguish the dark ones from their natural dark, sooted background. Thus more light-colored moths stood out against the dark soot, and were eaten. And more dark-colored moths eluded the birds, survived to reproduce, passing on more of their dominant genes for dark color to their offspring. After several decades of hundreds of thousands of generations, most of the later generations were dark, due to selective advantage of camouflage to survive predation.

How does a law differ from a theory?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>A law is a statement of fact but a theory is an explanation. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>A law is in general a universally accepted fact.</em> It remains true and the same in any part of the world it takes several years of experimentation to develop a law.  

<em>A law is a statement that cannot be challenged at the present point of time with all its technological advancements.</em> A theory is different from a law. It is an explanation of facts.  

<em>Most acceptable one among several explanations becomes a theory. A theory doesn’t have a universal nature  like that of a fact.  </em>
