Answer:
The moths were typically white with black speckles, which helped them blend in. There was a mutation that caused some of them to be almost entirely black, which would make them easier to spot and get eaten. However, one event that left the trees covered in ash and soot was an advantage for these moths. They blended into the trees more so than the other ones, and there was a giant fluctuation of them. The mutated ones now had a better chance of staying camofluaged, and the white and black speckled ones were more likely to get eaten.

D... i took science last year
I think the answer is D but it's been a while since I've done this.
Answer:
0.999999 ≈ 1
Explanation:
In a population ( N ) there is the presence of 2N alleles in the population also chance of fixation can be expressed as ; 1/ 2N
Therefore the probability that the mutation will be lost due to genetic drift
= 2N - 1 / 2N ---- ( 1 )
given that ; N = 100,000
back to equation 1
P ( losing mutation due to genetic drift ) = ((2*100,000) - 1 )) / ( 2* 100,000 )
= ( 200,000 - 1 ) / 200,000
= 0.999999 ≈ 1
