B) that a harmful phenotype may become an advantageous phenotype when the environment changes
The English Peppered Moth is a result of natural selection, not random genetic drift. This moth evolved because of the light colors of lichens on trees in their habitats.
Not at all
Peppered moths have not been "created" in the traditional sense. They are a species of moth that has evolved over time through natural selection and adaptation. Their coloration played a role in the famous example of industrial melanism during the Industrial Revolution in England.
natural selection for example is a peppered moth.
in trees is where the peppered moth lives.
no
The melanic form of the peppered moth is darker in coloration compared to the typical light-colored form. This dark coloration is a result of a genetic mutation that causes an increase in the production of melanin pigments in the moth's wings. The melanic form of the peppered moth became more prevalent in polluted areas during the industrial revolution due to its increased camouflage on darkened tree trunks.
The change of common color from light to dark in the peppered moth was an example of natural selection, where darker moths had better camouflage in polluted environments, leading to increased survival and reproduction, and ultimately a shift in the moth population towards darker individuals.
