Biology

Answer:

Because the west coast has winds blowing off the water (because of the earths rotation and the prevailing westerlies). The waters along the west coast are much cooler than the east coast during the summer so if the winds blew off the east coast, a lot of the eastern US would be pretty tropical. NYC wouldnt even see snow to give you an idea. I would guess that day time highs in the WINTER in virginia beach would be in the upper 60s with nights in the low to mid 40s if winds blew off the east coast and summers would be cooler with daytime highs getting in the low to mid 80s and lows in the low 70s. Much milder during the winter and in the summer which means warmer winter temps and slightly cooler summer temps also. NYC would probably have a January high temperature in the upper 50s and a low temperature in the upper 30s to low 40s and a July high temperature in the mid 80s with a low temperature in the low 70s.  

I just came up with those temperatures in my head, but the point is that the water does moderate temperatures a lot and even though the waters in the west coast are much cooler than the east coast (ex is san diego with a water temp in the low 60s and NYC with a water temperature in the upper 70s this time of the year) but since the wind blows off the water on the west coast and the mountains block inland winds, the west coast is milder than the east coast.

In England, peppered moths have two color forms, light and dark. Dark is a dominant trait. Until about 1850, the majority of
ehidna [41]

Theory of natural selection by Charles Darwin explains the moth appearance in England. The theory of genetics describes this as a mere shift of trait due to environmental factors.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Peppered moths are the moths found in England from a long time ago. The environment before the industrial revolution was pure and pollution free, which led to the growth of the white variety of moths as they were able to camouflage better with the bark of the trees from their hunters. The white trait were the parents, and fertilization between the two recessive traits gave rise to the recessive traits only.

But with the industrial revolution, the pollution increased to a huge extent, leading to deposition of smokes and soot on trees bark where white variety of the white moths got easily recognizable. This led to the black moths which now can camouflage better. Thus the nature selected black variety over white variety for better survival, and the white variety reduced dramatically.

Mnenie [13.5K]

The answer is natural selection.

In natural selection, genotype variations that will increase the chance of survival and reproduction of some organism are preserved and will be inherited. Red and green colors of butterflies increased the chance of their <span>survival and reproduction, so these traits will pass to the next generation.</span>
