Abird that preys on moths is introduced to the habitat with moths and trees like the one shown above.
what will most likely happen to the population of moths in this habitat?
a. the population of moths will eventually become extinct.
b. the moths will evolve due to a selective pressure.
c. the dark colored moths will experience disruptive selection.
d. the alleles that determine light and dark colors in moths will equalize.

When a bird that preys on the moths is introduced into a habitat that contain two types of moths (dark-colored and light-colored) and light tree barks, the population of the dark-colored moths will decrease rapidly as they will experience disruptive selection. The dark-colored moths will be easier to spot on the light-colored tree barks. Disruptive selection can be defined as the natural selection in which the highly adapted organisms are selected over the average ones.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option C - the dark colored moths will experience disruptive selection'.

small, big, or no change could occur in the phenotype. it could cause something as simple as a cats ears to curl backwards or something as frighting as death. it could also occur in the protien-coding area and have an effect on that but no effect on the amino acids. what has to occur is a changing in the hox gene or the control gene.

answer:

convection currents in the magma drive plate tectonics. heat generated from the radioactive decay of elements deep in the interior of the earth creates magma (molten rock) in the aesthenosphere. the aesthenosphere (70 ~ 250 km) is part of the mantle, the middle sphere of the earth that extends to 2900 km.
