The genes regulating wing color In butterflies are lnnuenced by environmental factors.
The most likely conclusion of Morgan's research was that the genes regulating the wing color in butterflies was highly influenced by purticular wavelength of Light in environment also called the aborption/emission spectrum.
For this we need to know what what is light spectrum of absorbance and emission
What is the Absorption Spectrum, exactly?
When energy is absorbed by electrons in the ground state to reach higher energy levels, an absorption spectrum is formed by the frequencies of light transmitted.
What exactly is the Emission Spectrum?
- When electrons in an atom absorb energy, they migrate from lower energy levels to higher energy levels. To return to ground states from the excited state, which is unstable, these excited electrons must emit energy. The frequencies of the released light compose the emission spectrum.
What is the role of light spectrum in wing color of butterfly?
- Butterflies' colors come from two different source: ordinary (or pigmented) color and structural color.
- The common color is made up of chemical pigments that absorb some wavelengths of light while reflecting others.
- Plants, for example, are green due to the pigment chlorophyll. The blue and red colors of the spectrum are absorbed by chlorophyll, but not the green since it is reflected back to our eyes.
- Similarly the intensity of light absorbed by pigments will determine the color of the wing.
hence the color of the wing on exposure to red light produced butterflies with brightly colored wings. exposure to green light resulted in dark-colored wings. exposure to blue light or no light resulted in pale-colored wings.
