(2) Pollution generated mutation
(3) Protective mimicry
(4) Defensive adaptation against UV radiations
Which of the following conclusions is from industrial melanism?
(1) Camouflage causes the white moths to get caught by predators more even in rural areas during industrialisation.
(2) During industrialisation, white variant of moths got wiped out completely in urban areas.
(3) During industrialisation, lichen will increase in number.
(4) In a mixed population, those that can better adapt, survive and increase in population size.
The selecting agent in industrial melanism was:
(1) humans
