Industrial melanism in peppered moth is an excellent example of natural selection in the recent history'. Justify this statement.

Industrial melanism in peppered moth occurred due to natural selection . The significant reason for this is (a) the light coloured white moths could not be noticed by predatory birds after deposition of soots on bark of trees (b) mutation in light coloured moths due to increase in industrial pollution (c) advantageous selection of black moths on tree in polluted areas, resulting in increase population of black moths (d) advantageous selection of white moths on tree in polluted areas, resulting in increased population of white moths

Cheetah and humans share similarities in the pattern of bones of forelimbs. C. In a collection of moths made in the 1850s i.e., before industrialization set in, it was observed that there were more dark-winged moths on trees than white-winged moths. D. Branching descent and natural selection are the two key concepts of Darwinian theory of evolution. E. The Neanderthal man with a brain size of 1400 cc lived in east and central Asia 25,000-10,000 years age. Which set of given statements are correct ?

Photography is based on the nature of silver halides. Except AgF, the silver halides are photosensitive. These undergo decomposition in light and turn black due to formation of free silver. 2AgBroverset(light)to2Ag+Br_2 The photography films are prepared by adding 20% aqueous solution of AgNO_3 to NH_4Br solution containing gelatic. When such a film is exposed, emulsion gets affected and a latent image is formed on the film. When this exposed film or plate is dipped ina developer which contains a reducing agent, the part affected most during exposure are reduced to the maximum. The image becomes visible. It is called a negative. The remaining sensitive emulsion on the negative is removed by dissolving it in hypo solution (fixer). Fihnally, a positive of the nagative already prepared is made on silver bromide paper. Q. The exposed part of the film or plate after developing contains
