Solution
The observations that have challenged Tutt's hypothesis about peppered moths are:
- 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.

How did Bernard Kettlewell test Tutt's hypothesis about peppered moths?Multiple choice question.He released marked dark and light moths in polluted and unpolluted woods and determined their survival.He released marked light moths in polluted and unpolluted woods and determined their survival.He released marked dark moths in polluted and unpolluted woods and determined their survival.He released marked dark moths in polluted woods and marked light moths in unpolluted woods and determined their survival.
The peppered moth is often used as a case study to illustrate natural selection. The allele for dark-colored is dominant and the allele for light colored is recessive. In the 1850's light-colored moths were higher in population size and easily camouflaged in the trees from predators; however after industrial air pollution covered the trees with soot in the early 1900's the dark-colored moths blended in with the trees more effectively and became greater in number than the light-colored moths. Which evolutionary trend is demonstrated?Group of answer choicesa smaller percentage of light-colored moths survive to reproduce, shrinking the gene pool and causing mutations.the populations of the light-colored and the dark-colored moths will both become extinct.more dark-colored moths survive to reproduce, which shifted the allele frequency towards the dark-colored allele.over time, the birds will get used to eating the light-colored moths and stop eating the dark-colored moths.
In his experiments with peppered moths, the proportion of dark moths recaptured by Kettlewell was in a polluted wood than in an unpolluted wood.
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.
