What is the most likely explanation of the data shown below?  A. There has been a drought in the area that is affecting all life forms.  B. The population of natural predators of the moths has gotten smaller.  C. The moths are living in an environment with light trees.  D. The moths are living in an environment with dark trees.

Which of the following statements best describes what will most likely occur to the moth populations in the image below?  A. The light moths will be captured by predators more easily than the dark moths, and the population of dark moths will rise.  B. The light moths will be captured by predators more easily than the dark moths, and the population of light moths will rise.  C. The dark moths will be captured by predators more easily than the light moths, and the dark moths will probably go extinct.  D. The light moths will change their wing color to match that of the dark moths.

The pair of population graphs below display the results of two different five-year hunting cycles, one on light trees and one on dark trees. The population of light-colored moths is shown by the light gray dots, and the population of dark moths is shown by the dark gray dots. How do these results demonstrate natural selection?  A. The moth populations shown here demonstrate random fluctuations over time that are not explained by tree color.  B. On light trees, individual moths tried to become lighter in color to match the tree background. On dark trees, individual moths tried to become darker in color.  C. The moths that were the same color as their background were more likely to survive and reproduce. Over time, the populations of these well-adapted moths increased.  D. Small particles of tree bark became embedded in the moth’s wings, causing the moths to become darker on the dark trees and lighter on the light trees. These acquired traits were then passed down to the next generation of moths, causing the populations to change color over time.

The data indicates that during the Industrial Revolution, dark mothsElimination ToolSelect one answerAhad a higher survival rate than light moths.Bcould change color.Chad greater genetic variation than light moths.Dcould change their phenotype.

Select all that applyWhich of the following are recent observations that have challenged Tutt's hypothesis about peppered moths?Multiple select question.In some areas, lichens never changed even though dark moths became predominant.In some areas, evidence suggests that moths rest on leaves in the treetops, not trunks.There have never been direct observations of birds preying on the dark peppered moths.Light moths in some areas increased in frequency long before lichens re-appeared.

Which of the following statements best describes evolution taking place in the peppered moth population?Group of answer choicesA single moth changed itself from light to dark.All the members of the moth population changed their color from light to dark.The peppered moth population had more dark moths after several generations.The moths all died.
