What happened to the color of peppered moths after govermental regulations were put in place to decrease air pollution? A. moths that were lighter in color became more fit over time

B. moths became lighter during their lifetime and passed on the alleles for lighter color to their offspring

C. moths became darker during their lifetime and passed on the alleles for darker color to their offspring

D. moths that were darker in color became more fit over time

A

Explanation:

While B seems to be correct, it is A because evoulution requires time and a moth would not have undergone such dramatic phenotypic change in its lifetime.

it has to be understood that the sea water contains a huge amount of sodium and chlorine ions and if they enter the cell of the atlantic cod fish, the cell will shrivel and the fish will die. to avoid such a condition, the fish uses active transport for the purpose of removing the ions against the gradient.

explanation:

the atlantic cod is not a maritime osmoconformer. its native application of salts is less than that of the seawater it lives in. it is continually falling water from the gills to the ocean via osmosis.

countering that, the fish is going to be swallowing seawater. but since its internal collection of salts is lower than seawater, the fish will want to go free of excess salt, and since that's going upon a gradient, then active transport, requiring energy, must be used to pump out the salt. much marine fish use the organs to filter out the salt and these fish discharge very straight urine.
