In the picture, there is a dark moth and light moth on each tree. If all the trees are dark colored (without lichens) like the tree on the right, which moth is more likely to survive? DS
(1 Point)

the white one would be more likely to survive

Explanation:

If all the trees are dark-colored  (without lichens) like the tree on the right, the moth that would most likely survive longest is the dark-colored moth.

Explanation:

This is because of natural selection (which means "A process in which individual organisms or phenotypes that possess favourable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce: the differential survival and reproduction of phenotypes.") The dark-colored moth is best adapted to its surroundings compared to the light-colored moth, and it will survive the longest (of the two) according to this definition of natural selection.

Hope this helps :)

parasites can detrimentally affect their host, but also must not allow their host to die before they can complete their life cycle. some parasites have complex life cycles with many different hosts, and have had to find ways of persisting in many different environments during the change from one host to another. ectoparasites live outside the body of the host, and can more easily  disperse, but are  more exposed to predators, parasites, parasitoids. endoparasites live inside the body of the host, and are therefore protected from the outside environment. but they can be  attacked by the host's immune system. they have therefore developed  mechanisms for dispersal such as  complex life cycles.
