Answer/Explanation:

Pollution during the industrial revolution caused trees to become covered with soot, making them darker. This dark appearance meant that the peppered moth, which usually had a light colour, was clearly visible against the tree. This meant it was easier for predators to identify. As a result, their numbers decreased because they were an easier target.

However, there was also a rarer form of the moth, which was dark in colour. These were initially very rare. However, because of the change in the tree colour owing to the industrial revolution, these moths were better suited to the environment, as they were more camouflaged against the dark tree. This meant it was easier for them to avoid predators, and so they were more likely to survive to reproductive age and pass on the genes that produce the dark colour.  This meant that the dark moths increased in number.

How do two monosaccharides combine to form a disaccharide?
disa [49]

Answer:

A monosaccharide is made of a 6-carbon cyclic ring. 5 out of the 6 form part of the ring while the other carbon acts as a side group of the 5’ carbon in the ring. When forming a disaccharide with the next monosaccharide, the OH of the 1’ C of one monomer undergoes a condensation reaction with the OH of the 5’ C of the next monomer. This results in the formation of a glycosidic bond and the loss of a water molecule.
