Why has the peppered moth that lives in the city developed dark wings and the moth that lives in the countryside developed pale wings?
Because before the industrial revolution, the bark of the trees they lived on was light, therefore the dark ones could be easily seen and eaten by predators, causing only the lighter ones to survive. When the industrial revolution came about, the trees near factories were covered in soot and blackened by the pollution, therefore the darker moths couldn't be seen and eaten so they survived wheras the lighter moths could be seen and eaten.
What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
What is the melanic form of the peppered moth?
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.
How do the peppered moths avoid their predators?
Peppered moths avoid predators by blending in with their surroundings through camouflage. They can adjust their coloration based on the environment they are in, making it harder for predators to spot them. Additionally, they are more active at night when predators have a harder time seeing them.

because in major cities dust and dirt and chemicals from industrial buidings go onto trees in the city so the dark peppered moths have adpated to suit this environment. this is the same thing for the peppered moth who lives in the countryside because their is no industrial buildings in the countryside so the trees aren't spoilt so the moths have adpated to suit to the environment. It's all to do with camoflague to hide from predators!
