Which one of the following is a selective advantage of simple multicellularity over single-
celled
organisms? CORRECT ANS-Multicellularity helps organisms avoid predation.

green algae
Why do mitochondria and chloroplasts have small genome? CORRECT ANS-They have
small genomes because over time, much of their nucleic acid has migrated to the host cell

from the

The peppered moth provides a well-known example of natural selection. The lightcolored
form of the moth was predominant in England before the industrial revolution. In
the mid-nineteenth century, a dark-colored form appeared. The difference is produced by
a dominant allele of one gene. By about 1900, approximately 90% of the moths around
industrial areas were dark colored, whereas light-colored moths were still abundant
elsewhere. Apparently, birds could readily find the light moths against the soot-darkened
background in industrial areas and therefore were eating more light moths. Recently, use
