a species can gradually change into new species
Evolution.
Vestigial structures do not harm the organism. Nature selects against only harmful traits.
The phenotype changed, which resulted in a black color adaptation.
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.
Why do organisms in different places have different traits (apex)
They make the species more genetically diverse
The method an organism uses to produce offspring
the way that a species creates offspring
