What is an example of disruption?

Disruptive selection occurs when environmental pressures lead to two extreme genetic variants to be selected for equally. The peppered moth is an example. This moth can have either a light or dark coloration. In England during the Industrial Revolution, increased pollution caused tree bark within cities to turn dark. This favored the dark variation of the moth, since they could more easily blend in with the dark bark to hide from predators. In rural areas away from the pollution of cities, the lighter moth was better able to blend in with trees and escape detection from predators. This led to black moths being more common in cities and light moths being more common in the country.


What is the difference between toilet cleaning and moth repelling balls?

Dissimilar active ingredients and dissimilar purposes represent the difference between toilet cleaning and moth repelling balls. Cetrimonium bromide tends to be the active ingredient in toilet cleaning balls. It's effective in cleaning and leaving a fresh cleaning smell.In contrast, the quite toxic naphthaline tends to be the active ingredient in moth repelling balls. It's effective in keeping clothes eating moths away from sweaters and other woollens. Naphthaline has a steady track record that goes back at least to the 19th century in its use as a moth population control. The problem lies in its toxicity. So it's a medical emergency when taken in by humans.
