For hundreds of years one species of moth has always gone back to the same type of tree in the forest to breed. A small portion of that moth population began going to a different type of tree within the same forest to breed instead. What would most likely result from this scenario

Evolution.

Explanation:

A small portion of the moth population began going to a different type of tree within the same forest to breed instead of the older one because of the evolution. Due to this evolution, the moth is able to breed on another tree. The characteristics of some moth specie changed over several generations due to may be change in their genetic makeup so we can say that it is because of evolution.

an organism's phenotype is the  form of a trait  that it  displays. for  flowercolor, a pea  plant  can  display  a phenotype of purple or white flowers. an organism's  genotype  is the alleles of a gene it contains. based on his data, mendel concluded that a phenotype can be  determined  by more than one  genotype.
