Peppered moths are dark-colored when they carry the dark (D) allele, and light-colored when they are homozygous for the recessive (d) allele.
A geneticist collected a population of 50 peppered moths, and found that 18 were dark (DD or Dd) and 32 were light (dd).

Water changes bacteria in the soil converts this nutrient into a usable form. plants take up the usable nutrient through the soil and assimilate it into proteins, making it part of the plant. an animal eats the plants, and the nutrient becomes part of the animal. when the animal dies, it decomposes, returning the nutrient back to the soil. which cycle is being described? water cycle carbon cycle nitrogen cycle phosphorous cycle
