In pre-industrial period in England, most peppered moths had light coloration. During industrial revolution, many lichens died out and trees became blackened by soot from factories and interestingly, dark colored moths were predominantly seen. Which of the following observation is incorrect about above selection?

#Section 3: Genetics, Cellular and Molecular Biology
  1. It is a directional or progressive selection

  2. Industrial melanism is an adaptation where the moths living in the industrial areas developed melanin pigment to hide themselves from their predators

  3. This happened due to natural selection of the camouflaging mechanism or the moths.

  4. It reduces the variations and maintains the mean value in a population, thereby preventing the evolutionary change
