Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Industrial melanism is the specific name for the mutation in which moths become darker in color as an adaptation to pollution. This adaptation allows the moths to better blend in with the darkened environment caused by pollution, making them less visible to predators. Option B (evolutionary coloration) and Option C (colour variation) are more general terms that could refer to any color adaptation in response to environmental pressures, and Option D (genotypic melanism) is not an accurate term for this specific mutation.
