Question

1. think and discuss: did the changes you observed in the moth populations result from individual moths changing colors? or did they occur because the best - hidden moths survived and reproduced, passing on their colors to their offspring? explain your answer.

Explanation:

The changes in moth populations likely resulted from natural selection. Moths with colors better - suited to their environment (the best - hidden moths) survived and reproduced, passing on their color traits to their offspring. This is an example of how environmental pressures can drive evolutionary changes in populations.

Answer:

The changes occurred because the best - hidden moths survived, reproduced, and passed on their colors to their offspring due to natural selection.
