This type of defense falls under the category of Müllerian mimicry. It is a type of mimicry where two or more species mutually presents themselves as harmful. Müllerian mimicry describes a situation where species have similar warning signals and they share genuine anti-predation.
An example is the drop of white-colored moths and an increase in dark-colored moths in London after the industrial revolution. Because darker-colored moths could camouflage well in the sooty environment (due to industrial emissions), they were preyed less by their predators. White-colored moths stood out and due to being preyed more their numbers declined over generations – because they wouldn’t survive long enough to reproduce and pass their genes to the next generation. The predominant color for the moths’ population became dark color.
Answer: The genetic material must be a DNA double helix.
Explanation:
Genetic material is the material which resides in the nucleus or any other organelles within the cell which is responsible for development of traits in an organism. It is a hereditary material which passes from parents to their offsprings. It is not necessary the genetic material must be stored in the form of double stranded DNA instead it can be stored in the form of RNA which is single stranded genetic material it directly encodes for proteins during translation.
Answer:
pseudogenes
Explanation:
Pseudogenes are nonfunctional segments of DNA that resemble functional genes.
