Industrial melanism is an example of adaptation which allows protective resemblance with surroundings.
Explanation:
- Industrial melanism is related to the species of moth known as Biston betularia.
- They had two varieties- light colored and dark colored.
- As more and more industries were coming lot of smoke was produced from the factories which caused soot to be deposited on trees.
- As a result the light colored species were easily spotted by the predators and their population declined leading to the dark colored species dominating as they were able to camouflage themselves in the dark background of sooty trees.
