Industrial melanism is an example of:
1. | Natural selection | 2. | Mutation |
3. | Racial difference | 4. | Predation |
1. | The overuse of industrial pollutants leading to genetic mutations in species. |
2. | The ability of a species to change color in response to industrial pollution. |
3. | Evolution through natural selection, where darker individuals become more common due to industrial pollution. |
4. | The disappearance of industrial pollutants from the environment due to the adaptation of microorganisms. |
For natural selection to bring about evolution, the trait selected by the nature must be:
1. | Dominant | 2. | Recessive |
3. | Mutant | 4. | Inherited |
1. | Dominance |
2. | Whether it is autosomal linked or sex linked |
3. | Forces such as natural selection |
4. | The number of alleles present for a particular gene |
1. | gene therapy has alleviated the condition |
2. | the disease is carried on a dominant allele |
3. | individuals with one allele for sickle-cell anemia are resistant to malaria |
4. | the mutation rates are high in humans in African continent |
