Question

Use the ideas of natural selection to explain why most peppered moths in England today are pale, not dark.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Industrialisation and domestic coal fires had caused sooty air pollution which had killed off lichens and blackened urban tree trunks and walls. So now it was the pale form of the moth that was more obvious to predators, while the melanic form was better camouflaged and more likely to survive and produce offspring.
