The evolution of the peppered moth over the last two hundred years has been studied in detail. Originally, the vast majority of peppered moths had light colouration, which effectively camouflaged them against the light-coloured trees and lichens upon which they rested. However, due to widespread pollution during the Industrial Revolution in England, many of the lichens died out, and the trees which peppered moths rested on became blackened by soot, causing most of the light- coloured moths to die off due to predation. At the same time, the dark-coloured moths flourished because of their ability to hide on the darkened trees. Since then, with improved environmental standards, light-colored peppered moths have again become common, but the dramatic change in the peppered moth's population has remained a subject of much interest and study Which type of selection is illustrated by the peppered moth's during the Industrial Revolution?
Answer:
Directional selection
Explanation:
The phenotype of individuals and the environment where they live, interact and determines the genes´ destiny in space and time. The result of this interaction and the gene destiny is Natural Selection. Natural selection selects beneficial alleles and increases their frequency in the population.
Among the different types of natural selection, we can find "directional selection".
Directional selection increases in the proportion of individuals with an extreme phenotypic trait, in this case, dark moths color. This selection presents more frequently in those cases in which interactions between living organisms and the environment modify in the same direction.
In the exposed example, the moth population must be adapted to its environment. The coloration is related to survival strategies. In the beginning, they expressed light coloration useful to camouflage and to avoid predators while resting on their lighted-substrate (lichens and light-colored trees). After the severe environmental impact of the Industrial Revolution, the environment changed. This change acted as a selective pressure. Lichens died, and trees became darker. Light moths were exposed and died after predation. Probably at one point of the evolution, the gene for color mutated, and dark-colored moths appeared. By natural selection, the mutation got fixed. This example reflects directional selection because the population turned from light color to dark color.
In the attached files you will find two graphs expressing directional selection.
If B is the dominant gene for brown eyes and P is recessive gene for blue eyes, what is the genotype for brown eyes?
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Both BB and Bb will result in brown eyes as it is the dominant trait. Only bb will result in blue eyes thus the answer is both choice 1 and 2.

a _ is a push or a pull on an object
Answer:
Force
Explanation:
Answer:
A force is a push or pull upon an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object. Whenever there is an interaction between two objects, there is a force upon each of the objects. When the interaction ceases, the two objects no longer experience the force. Forces only exist as a result of an interaction.

Y red ballonls and m green ballons were divided evenly amoung three kids. How many ballons did each kid get
Answer:
Each kids will get Y red balloons + M green ballons ÷ 3.
Explanation:
This is because Y red balloons and green red balloons are the total number of balloons present.
The total number of ballons are Y red+M green ballons.
The total number of kids are 3.
Therefore each kids with get the addition of the ballons divided by 3.
Therefore, Y red ballons + M green ballons ÷ 3.

A fruit fly somatic cell contains 8 chromosomes. How many chromosomes will each fruit fly gamete contain?
Answer:
The somatic cells of fruit flies contain eight chromosomes, which means they have two sets of four chromosomes. Meiosis is the process by which sex cells are produced. Sex cells are haploid, which means they have one set of chromosomes.
Explanation:
Fruit flies have two sets of four chromosomes because their somatic cells have eight chromosomes. The process through which sex cells are created is called meiosis. The haploid nature of sexual cells means that they only have one set of chromosomes.
What is Meiosis?In sexually reproducing organisms, meiosis is a unique type of cell division of spermatids that results in the production of gametes, such as sperm or egg cells. Two rounds of division are necessary, and the end product is four cells with just one duplicate of each chromosome.
When the chromosome count in daughter cells is decreased to half that of the parent cell during meiosis, the process is known as reduction division. For instance, while a human cell has 46 chromosomes, the egg and sperm cells created by meiotic division only have 23. In the above given example, fruit flies have two sets of four chromosomes as their somatic cells have eight chromosomes.
Thus, fruit flies have two sets of four chromosomes because their somatic cells have eight chromosomes.

(Choose only ONE answer.)
1)working in the immune system
2)providing energy
3)working as enzymes
4)building muscle
Answer:
1. working in the immune system.
Explanation:
Proteins are responsible for the development of hairs, skin, wool, and nails in our body. Meat, eggs, and fish are some of the rich food sources of proteins. Enzymes are proteins made up of amino acids and acts as biological catalysts in our body. However, glucose serves the purpose of energy provider for the metabolism which is not a protein.

your response with evidence from all three sources,
For the source material please read the Radiolab segment, as well as the two articles on Dr. Gey's use of Henrietta Lack's cells from the biomedical test chapter 3.
Answer:
Dr. Gey's use of Henrietta Lack's cells after 24 years was not unethical due to his effort to figure out what was wrong with cells and why it happened to Henrietta.
Even if he did his intentions were to figure out how to treat cancer and help many people from the lethal condition. His effort made it possible to grown immortal human cells in culture. That help in developing the polio vaccine, and many other milestones.
