What are the two types of peppered moths?
The two types of peppered moths are the light-colored form called typica and the dark-colored form called carbonaria. These moths became famous for illustrating natural selection during the Industrial Revolution in England.
How did peppered moths get their name?
Peppered moths get their name from the pepper-like speckles on their wings, which resemble the appearance of peppercorns. This pattern helps them blend in with tree bark, providing camouflage and protection against predators. The moths are commonly found in both light-colored and dark-colored forms, known as the light and dark morphs.
An experiment is performed with peppered moths. The table below shows the populations of light-colored moths and dark-colored moths before and after the trees turned black.?
the dark-colored moths were more fit. ( apex )
Can you think of an experiment to test the hypothesis that being light or dark makes a difference in the survival rates of peppered moths?
I remember years ago reading up about industrialisation and how pollution caused many trees and whatnot to darken considerably with the smog, exposing the light peppered moths and giving the dark peppered moths a better chance of survival.
Which variety of peppered moths increased over the 10 year period?
The dark colored moths increase over ten- year period.
What percentage of dark peppered moths live in the lichen forest?

Why did the number of dark peppered moths increase after the 1850s?
The industrialization in England of factories caused the trees to turn darker due to the ash and soot coming from the factories. When the trees were done evolving into dark colored trees the dark peppered moths were difficult to see for the birds went after the ones which were easier to see, which were the light peppered moths.

Can you think of any real-life examples of the woolybooger where one species has a definite advantage over?
Dark peppered moths in England have definite advantage over light peppered moths because they have the ability to blend in with the dark sooty trees affected by pollution. The light peppered moths are at a disadvantage because they stand out to predators (birds).

Why is there an increase in the number of dark colored peppered moths occurred during the industrial revolution?
birds couldn't see the dark-colored moths on the trees darkened by industry.

How did natural selection affect peppered moths?
During the industrial revolution, peppered moths with dark coloration had better camouflage on soot-covered trees, allowing them to avoid predation and survive to reproduce. Over time, the frequency of dark-colored moths increased due to their enhanced survival, demonstrating natural selection operating on the population.
An experiment is performed with peppered moths. The table below shows the populations before and after the trees turned black. Based on this data which is a reasonable hypothesis for what happened aft?
The peppered moths with light-colored wings decreased in population after the trees turned black, while the peppered moths with dark-colored wings increased in population. A reasonable hypothesis is that the moths with dark-colored wings had a survival advantage in the new environment as they were better camouflaged against the black trees, while the light-colored moths became more visible to predators.
