Percent of Moths Recaptured in Two Different Environments Trial Moth Color and Environment Percent of Released Moths Recaptured I Light-colored moths were released in an unpolluted environment. 13% II Light-colored moths were released in a polluted environment. 12% III Dark-colored moths were released in an unpolluted environment. 7% IV Dark-colored moths were released in a polluted environment. 28% A researcher released large numbers of moths into different environments in an attempt to better understand a mechanism of evolution. The moths were released in four trials as described in the table above. Each of the released moths had a small mark on the underside of a wing for identification. After an appropriate amount of time, the researcher recaptured as many of the released moths as possible. Data from the experiment are included in the table above. Which of the following claims is best supported by the data?单项选择题

A

Dark-colored moths were more likely to be recaptured in the polluted environment than in the unpolluted environment, suggesting an increased chance of reproductive success.

B

Dark-colored moths were less likely to be recaptured in the polluted environment than in the unpolluted environment, suggesting an increased chance of reproductive success.

C

Light-colored moths were less likely to be recaptured in the polluted environment than in the unpolluted environment, suggesting an increased chance of reproductive success.

D

Light-colored moths were more likely to be recaptured in the polluted environment than in the unpolluted environment, suggesting an increased chance of reproductive success.

The TAS2R38 gene encodes a receptor protein that influences the ability to taste bitterness. The gene has two alleles: a dominant, wild-type allele that enables an individual (taster) to taste bitterness and a recessive, mutant allele that interferes with the ability of an individual (nontaster) to taste bitterness. Three single nucleotide mutations in the coding region of the TAS2R38 gene are associated with the nontaster allele. The nucleotides present at the three positions are shown in the table below. Nucleotide Variation in the TAS2R38 Gene Position in the Nucleotide Sequence 145 785 886 Human nontaster G T A Human taster C C G Bonobo C C G Chimpanzee C C G Gorilla C C G A cladogram representing the evolutionary relatedness of selected primates is shown below. From left to right, the branches are as follows: Orangutan, Gorilla, and Chimpanzee. Past the branches, the main line is labeled Human. Another branch, labeled Bonobo, is connected to the Chimpanzee branch. Toxic substances often have a bitter taste that causes animals who try to eat such substances to spit them out rather than swallow them. Additional data suggest that gorilla populations have a very low frequency of nontasters. Which of the following best describes the likely evolution of the TAS2R38 locus in the gorilla population?
