<span>Answer: A) Dark moths had a survival disadvantage in industrial Dorset.
-----
This question can be solely answered using the data you're given! The graph is broken down by place, and then moth type.
In forested Birmingham, the green bar for the light moth is much higher than the orange one for the dark moth. That means the light moth had a survival advantage (eliminating option D) and the dark moths had a survival disadvantage (eliminating option C).
In industrialized Dorset, the green bar for the light moth is much lower than the orange one for the dark moth. That means the light moths were at a survival disadvantage (eliminating option B). The dark moths were are a survival advantage, but option A says "disadvantage," which is clearly wrong! That makes A your answer.

Answer:
a) There are lots of genes on chromosome 1 could be affected, and the gametes could be imbalanced (missing segments of DNA or whole chromosomes)
b) Roughly 50%
c) No. I would advise that the couple undergo preimplantation genetic diagnosis, so that a zygote carrying the normal copy of chromosome 1 could be selected.
Explanation:
Chromosome 1 is one of the largest and most gene rich chromosomes. An inversion that covers 70% of its length would cover lots of genes.
While an inversion on its own would not seem problematic (as all the genes on the chromosome are still there), when it comes to meiosis, the sister chromatids would not be able to correctly align, and crossing over would further complicate this. It could also lead to unbalanced gametes missing entire parts of the chromosome. Therefore, there are likely numerous genes that will be affected and messed up by the inversion.
This could explain the high incidence of past still births, as if lots of genes are affected, and non-functional, the pregnancy would be rendered non-viable, or highly deleterious causing premature death.
b) There is a 50% chance of a child inheriting the defective copy of chromosome 1 (and 50% of a chance of them inheriting the normal chromosome 1. Therefore, there is likely a 50% chance that future offspring would be affected by defects
c) No. I would advise that the couple undergo preimplantation genetic diagnosis. In this, the couple undergoes in vitro fertilization (IVF). When embryos are produced through IVF, they can then be tested for the presence of the abnormal chromosome. Embryos will only be implanted into the mother if the normal chromosome 1 is present.
Compounds microscope is an optical instrument for forming magnifying images of small objects having an objective Len with a very short focal length. While electron microscope is a high power of microscope uses beam of electron focused by magnetic lenses instead of rays of light.
As distance between the two objects increases the force of gravity decreases. Hope that helps!
Answer:
The correct answer would be C, burning of wood and coal
Explanation:
The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gases) increases the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
