Answer 2

• Peppered moths after the industrial revolution showed the process of natural selection apex as the black moths were selected for when the trees turned black.
• Before the industrial revolution trees were covered with lichens and thus, the white moths could easily camouflage against the backdrop covered with lichens and be safe from their predators.
• However, when the industrial revolution took place, the trees were covered with soot and now, the black moths were more suitable for being camouflaged against this dark background.
• Thus, during the industrial revolution, black moths were selected when the trees turned black.
