Light coloured Peppered Moth/Biston betularia got changed to its darker form, carbonaria, due to: (a) Translocation of block of genes in response to heavy carbons NCERT Page-132 / N-116 (b) Deletion of gene segment due to industrial pollution (c) Mutation of single Mendelian gene for survival in smoke laden industrial environment (d) Industrial carbon deposited on wings. 6.4 WHAT IS ADAPTIVE RADIATION 21.

(c) evolution of different species from a common ancestor. (d) migration of members of a species to different geographical areas. 24. According to Lamarck, a giraffe has a long neck because: (a) a creator designed it that way. NCERT Page-135 / N-119 (b) catastrophes eliminated short-necked forms. (c) its ancestors stretched their necks to get food. (d) ancestral giraffes with slightly longer necks than others got more food and left more surviving offspring.
