A moth population living in a deciduous forest relies on camouflage to protect itself from predators. These moths typically vary
in
color and are thus able to camouflage among both the light and dark-colored trees of the forest. However, as soot emitted from
nearby factories darkens the forests trees, the moth population begins to evolve. Which of the following distribution graphs best
represents the evolution of this moth population?

Answer:
50%
Explanation:
Let's assume that the allele "T" gives the normal phenotype while the recessive allele "t" imparts the disease and is lethal in homozygous condition. The genotype of each of the two carrier parents would be "Tt". A cross between Tt and Tt would give the progeny in the following genotype ratio=
Tt x Tt= 1/4 TT: 1/2 Tt: 1/4 tt
Therefore, 1/2 or 50% progeny would be the carrier for the Tay-Sachs disease.
