Question
peppered moths spend most of the day resting on branches. some peppered moths have light - colored wings, and others have dark - colored wings.
the table below describes a possible population of peppered moths over a time period long enough for natural selection to occur. the table shows the percentage in the population at the start and end of this period.
| point in time | percentages with light - colored wings | percentages with dark - colored wings |
|---|---|---|
| end | 18.8% | 81.2% |
complete the following statements to construct the argument that is best supported by the data.
over this time period, moths with dark - colored wings were likely to survive and reproduce than moths with light - colored wings. this means that having dark - colored wings was advantageous.
The problem is about the population change of peppered moths, which relates to natural selection and evolution. The subfield of Biology (under Natural Science) deals with topics like population dynamics, natural selection, and species evolution, making it the most applicable.
