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.

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.

Explain how natural selection caused the frequency of black moths within the population to increase during the Industrial Revolution.

During the Industrial Revolution, black peppered moths had better camouflage than white moths. Over many generations, black moths became very common in the population.

In certain polluted areas of the world, populations of moths have been shown to change over the years with dark forms becoming more abundant than light forms; this phenomenon is called Blank______.Multiple choice question.industrial melanismartificial melanismpollution melanismnatural melanism
