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. the dark moths are harder to look in dark trees and light moths are harder to look in light trees

Explanation:

The changes in moth populations are likely due to natural selection. Moths better - camouflaged in their environment (dark moths in dark trees and light moths in light trees) are more likely to survive predation, reproduce, and pass on their color - related traits to their offspring.

Answer:

The changes in moth populations result from natural selection. Moths with colors that match their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on their color - traits to their offspring.
