Answer:

Directional selection

Explanation:

Directional selection is a mode of natural selection in which <u>a phenotype is favoured among other phenotypes </u>and therefore the population with the phenotype favoured increases over time to optimize their chances of survival.

This selection usually <u>requires a force in nature that causes a population to evolve towards one end of a trait spectrum.</u>

In this example, dark-colored moths are selected by predators because they stand out to predators against the light-colored foliage. Therefore, <u>this force in nature causes moths to change their phenotype and it shifts away from the dark-colored phenotype in order to increase their chances of survival so that predators do not predate them as easily because they won't stand out against the light-colored foliage.  </u>

<u />

Thus this is an example of directional selection.

When the supplies are limited what happens to the prices
Deffense [45]
I believe they go up because for supplies to be limited, people must be buying that product. So it makes sense once the products are limited, the prices will go up because either way the people are buying. Maybe even more now, more abundantly and faster because the product is limited.
