During the industrial revolution in England, a population of light-colored moths population fell while a population of dark-colo

red moths population rose. Both types of moths were usually found on the trunks of trees in cities.
Apparently, birds were eating the light-colored moths at a faster rate than they could reproduce. But they were leaving many of the dark-colored moths alone. What is the BEST explanation for this data?




a

The trees had become coated with soot and the dark moths were better camouflaged.

b

Dark-colored moths flew faster than light-colored moths.

c

The birds' vision had become impaired.

d

The white moths had become tastier.

Answer:

Option A, The trees had become coated with soot and the dark moths were better camouflaged.

Explanation:

During the industrial revolution, bark of the trees became dark in color due to which the light colored moth were easily identifiable.  

In response to this environmental change, the moth also evolved and became dark in color.  

However, the total moth population of moth then constituted of both light and dark colored moths but the birds could eat only the light colored moth because they could not camouflaged themselves against the color of trees’ bark.  

Hence, option A is correct

Answer:

B.

Image 1.2 -

Without the existance of stomata, the process of transpiration wouldn't be possible if there weren't structures thata allowed the exchange of gases.

Answer:

A.

Image 2 -

So, we can elminate plants because they can photosynthesise; bacteria because they are prokaryotes and can photosynthesise; archaea because they are prokaryotes; hat leaves us with animals and fungi because these cannot photosynthesise and are both eukaryotes.

But, we cannot skip information. It is also said that the organism found has a cell wall, and animals do not have cell walls.

Answer:

C.

Image 4 -

Option 1 = cilia

Option 2 = flagella

Option 3 = pseudopods

Image 5 -

Runner stems are those that grow horizontally, therefore the fourth image with the long horizontal stems.

Rhizome stems are underground stems that can form roots or shoots through their nodes. Therefore, the third image with white background (the one with 2 drawn plants).

Tuber stems are large underground (mostly) structures used as storages for the plant. Therefore, this corresponds to the first image (the one with the white background.

Bulb stems are short and "bulby" stems, whith thick, leaves. Therefore, the second image (the one with the grass background).

Hope it helped,

You have a plant with yellow seeds, which express a dominant phenotype. How would you determine the plant's genotype? Conduct a
Archy [21]
The answer is <span>Conduct a test cross with a purebred recessive plant. 

</span>

Test cross is the cross between an organism with unknown dominant genotype and an organism with known recessive genotype.

<span>Since dominant trait results from a dominant allele, the test cross can determine if an unknown genotype is heterozygous and homozygous dominant. </span>

If A is dominant allele, and a is recessive allele, then AA is dominant homozygote, Aa is a heterozygote, and aa is recessive homozygote.

<span>According to the Punnett square, if all of the offspring are heterozygote (Aa), then unknown genotype is dominant homozygous (AA). If half of the offspring are the heterozygote, and the other half are recessive homozygote, then the unknown genotype is heterozygote (Aa).</span>
