Answer:
C) increase the frequency of mutations in all genes
Explanation:
François Jacob and Jacques Monod carried out a series of experiments during their studies on the regulation of gene expression in <em>E. coli</em>. They exposed the <em>E. coli</em> cells with ultraviolet light or X-rays to allow mutations in all the genes to investigate the nature of enzyme synthesis in <em>E. coli</em>. They observed that some enzymes are synthesized continuously. They called those enzymes the constitutive enzymes. On the other hand, some enzymes were synthesized only when required by the cell.
Their further experiments included selective mutation of specific regulatory genes to observe the effect on the expression of other genes.
Answer: This moth has evolved
Explanation:
Evolutionary patterns show different patterns. One of the patterns is that: one species gradually transform into another species.
The above mentioned pattern is responsible for the moth's ability to lay more eggs and have more surviving offspring than other moths in the area. The moth is gradually transforming, so also its offspring will inherit these new traits, and it would further demonstrate evolution of one species.
Thus, it can be concluded that the unique ability of this moth over other moths is because the moth has evolved.
