The peppered moth had white bodies and wings, peppered with black. This coloration blended well into the original British countryside, hiding them from their predator the birds. Factories of the early industrial revolution covered everything with soot. Now the white stood out against the black surroundings making them easy targets for birds. Over time the white moths were wiped out. But, a few of them were darker in color, these survived and multiplied such that the white peppered moth was replaced buy the dark ones.
Black moths were selected for when the trees turned black.
the moths with the high fitness were selected for
The black moths were more fit for survival, so their phenotype frequency increased.

Genetic variation come from differences between the actual species, for example, one peppered moth could have a certain pattern where as another moth, the same type of the moth could have a different pattern, this is genetic variation. mutation is where pieces of the DNA are changed, therefore the actual moth changes. for example, take The Simpsons for instance, their three eyed fish has been mutated by the toxic waste. the peppered moths were mutated in the era where there were factories running on burning coal.

The peppered moth is a classic example used to demonstrate natural selection. It is said that the peppered moth began a light color to blend in to the trees so it would escape being eaten by its predators. However, during the industrial revolution smog darkened the trees and the peppered moth became better adapted as a dark color.
The Peppered moth avoids predation by using camouflage to blend int to tree bark. It was originally white with black spots. However in the industrial revolution when the local trees were blacked by soot from the factory chimneys, a black variant with white spots became prevalent in these regions. In the areas of pollution the black version blended in and the white stood out so natural selection changed the appearance of the population in these areas.
Adaptation and speciation through natural selection
Natural Selection
The branches of genetics, paleontology, observed natural selection and speciation all support evolution. Examples: (Genetics) Human chromosome 2 resulted from a fusion of two ancestral chromosomes. (Paleontology) Evolution of the horse. (Natural selection) Observed in Peppered moths. (Speciation) The Hawthorn Fly

There is an abundant amount of evidence that suggests natural selection. One example that suggests evolution by natural selection is the Peppered moth. Peppered moths were originally white and black. During the Industrial revolution in Britain, the black grime made the darker moths more likely to survive and reproduce than the white moths. During the pre-Industrial period, the moths changed back to being white and white-black.
natural selection for example is a peppered moth.

In the areas of pollution the black version blended in and the white stood out so natural selection changed the appearance of the population in these areas.
The peppered moths of England underwent directional selection following the Industrial Revolution. Prior to the pollution caused by industrialization, lighter-colored moths were more common and better camouflaged on the light-colored tree trunks. However, as pollution darkened the tree trunks, the darker moths had a survival advantage and their population increased.
Adaptation and speciation through natural selection
The colour of the peppered moth is often used as an example of natural selection. During the Industrial Revolution, the surfaces on which peppered moths frequently settle became increasingly stained with soot from the chimneys of factories, darkening them. Lighter-coloured moths would more easily be seen on these darkened surfaces by predators, and so the chances of survival were less for lighter moths than for darker moths; having a darker colour bestowed a reproductive advantage. As a result, the average colour for the population as a whole became darker.
