During the industrial revolution in England, a population of light-colored moths population fell while a population of dark-colo

red moths population rose. Both types of moths were usually found on the trunks of trees in cities.
Apparently, birds were eating the light-colored moths at a faster rate than they could reproduce. But they were leaving many of the dark-colored moths alone. What is the BEST explanation for this data?




a

The trees had become coated with soot and the dark moths were better camouflaged.

b

Dark-colored moths flew faster than light-colored moths.

c

The birds' vision had become impaired.

d

The white moths had become tastier.

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The darker moths would be harder for the bird to see due to the amount of soot on the trees. The darker moth population would thrive and continue to grow, while the lighter colored moth population would decrease.

Natural selection relies on genetic variation. In any population of beetles, there are alleles for brown or green color. What ha
Savatey [412]

The correct order for natural selection can be summarized as:

1. Inherited variation: Individuals among the population exhibit inherited variation such as body color, body size, hair colors, voice properties, et cetera.

For example, the population of beetles: an equal number of green and brown beetles.

2. Competition: Organisms face the struggle for their survival.

For example, Natural habitat is in trees. Green leaves hide green beetles.  

The brown beetles are noticed by birds in the area.

Birds eat brown beetles.

3. Selection: It leads to differential reproduction, that is, the organisms with adaptive traits tend to survive and reproduce more.

For example, green beetles reproduce in greater number than brown beetles.

4. Adaptation: The organisms with survival traits tend to survive more and pass their traits to the future generation.

For example, more green beetles survive than brown beetles.

5. Evolution: The change in allele frequency of the population takes place.

For example, beetle population changes from brown and green to mostly green beetles.

Thus, the correct order would be:

1. The population of beetles: an equal number of green and brown beetles.

2. Natural habitat is in trees. Green leaves hide green beetles.  

3. The brown beetles are noticed by birds in the area.

4. Birds eat brown beetles.

5. Green beetles reproduce in greater number than brown beetles.

6. More green beetles survive than brown beetles.

7. Beetle population changes from brown and green to mostly green beetles
