1) You can see two moths in this image, Living on the bark of trees. They are the same species of moth; they differ in color. If the habitat of the
two moths does not change, predict what will happen to the moth
population in this area and explain why.
A)
If the habitat does not change there should be no
change in the moth population.
B)
The lighter moth population will have better chance
of survival due to camouflage. Light moths will
increase: dark moths will decrease.
C)
The population will shift to the to favor the light
moth. The light moth population will increase
because the dark moths will leave the area.
D)
As the seasons change, both moths will be hidden by
foliage growing on the trees. We would predict no
big change in the moth populations, light or dark.
