Question

What will most likely happen to the population of moths in this habitat? The population of moths will eventually become extinct. The moths will evolve due to a selective pressure. The dark colored moths will experience disruptive selection. The alleles that determine light and dark color in moths will equalize.

Answer 1

The answer is; The moths will evolve due to selective pressure.

The allele for dark colored moths will be favored by natural selection over the allele for light-colored moths. This is because of the selective pressure of predation. Black moths are able to camouflage in their environment while light-colored moths stand out to their predators. More black moths are therefore able to pass down their genes than light-colored moths. Successive generation will, therefore, have more and more black moths.
