nd before the industrial revolution. in the mid-nineteenth century, a dark-colored form appeared. the difference is produced by a dominant allele of one gene. by about 1900, approximately 90% of the moths around industrial areas were dark colored, whereas light-colored moths were still abundant elsewhere. apparently, birds could readily find the light moths against the soot-darkened backgroun

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 much of a cell’s life is taken up by MITOSIS based on your data? 100=(16/36)*100
nordsb [41]
<span>All living things are made up of cells, and depending on how complex the organism is, it may have one cell, like a bacterium, or trillions of cells, like humans. The question is, how does a fertilized human embryo with one cell develop into an adult with 5 trillion cells? The answer is in a process referred to as cell division. A single fertilized human egg cell will divide to produce two cells. The two cells have the same genetic information as each other and the parent cell. The cells will continue to divide until trillions of cells are produced. This is how a fertilized egg grows into a baby, and then an adult. This division of cells is referred to as mitosis.</span>
