Answer:

Natural selection allowed physically fit dark colored moths to survive and mate to produce more physically fit offspring.

Explanation:

Due to their dark color, the dark colored moths were not identified by their predators easily. However, the light colored moths were easily identified and preyed upon.  

In this way the population of light colored moths reduced largely, thereby allowing more and more mating of light colored moth with dark colored moth or mating of dark colored moth with another dark colored moth so that environmentally fit offspring could be produced which have the capability to save themselves from the predator or any other harm.  

In this way natural selection allowed a shift in color of moth from lighter shade to a darker shade.

BRAINLIESTTT ASAP!<br><br> Describe the Carbon Cycle in steps.
Mariulka [41]
Hi, I don’t know if I answered this already, my brainly is glitching but if I did, tell me and I’ll delete this one.
The carbon cycle refers to the movement of carbon through the living and non living parts of the environment.

Air contains carbon in the form of a gas, carbon dioxide

Plants and other photosynthesis organisms remove carbon dioxide from the air during photosynthesis.

These organisms use carbon dioxide to make food molecules.

Consumers break down food molecules to obtain energy.

Release carbon dioxide as waste.

When producers and consumers die, their remains are broken down by decomposers.

Returns carbon compounds to soil

1. Natural selection is the best of the organisms to live past hardships and survive, leaving the weakest to die. Survival of the fittest.

2. Adaptation is an organism changing to better themselves in a certain environment.

3. These moths were adapted to blend into their surroundings, so as to not be seen by predators.

4. Because of the pollution from the city, the tree’s bark turned from a lighter shade brown to a darker shade brown.

5. A majority of the moths were a lighter gray. With the changing color bark they were seen more by predators.

6. Adaption caused the first darker moths to appear because they learned they needed to blend into the new tree bark color.

7. The change from light to dark gray was very needed for moths. It explains natural selection for those moths who did not adapt to different color gray. Adapting the new tree bark color helped moths been less seen by predators therefor keeping their species more alive.
