Question

consider the population of peppered moths over the time period previously shown. over this time period, moths with light - colored wings were less likely to survive and reproduce than moths with dark - colored wings. this means that having light - colored wings was less advantageous than having dark - colored wings. complete the following statements to construct the explanation that is best supported by the information above. having light - colored wings may have been less advantageous than having dark - colored wings because moths with light - colored wings were likely to be seen by predators. this may have been because the populations environment had trees with dark - colored bark than with light - colored bark.

Explanation:

The problem describes the peppered moth example, where survival depends on camouflage. Light-colored moths being less advantageous implies they were more visible to predators, likely due to the environment having more dark-barked trees (so light moths contrasted more).

Answer:
