Question

the table below describes a possible population of peppered moths over a time period long enough for natural selection to occur. the table shows wing color in the population at the start and end of this period. data about a population of peppered moths point in time percentage with light - colored wings percentage with dark - colored wings start 86.3% 13.7% end 70.3% 29.7% complete the following statements to construct the hypothesis that is best supported by the data. over this time period, moths with light - colored wings were likely to survive and reproduce than moths with dark - colored wings. this means that having light - colored wings was advantageous than having dark - colored wings.

Explanation:

The data shows the percentage of light-colored winged moths decreased from 86.3% to 70.3%, while dark-colored winged moths increased from 13.7% to 29.7%. A lower percentage change for light wings indicates lower survival/reproduction likelihood, meaning light wings were less advantageous.

Answer:

less; less
