Multiple Choice

In England approximately 250 years ago, the peppered moth had light-colored wing patterns that camouflaged them against the light-colored trees. Over time in urban areas, the number of peppered moths with dark-colored wings increased as pollution from the Industrial Revolution darkened the trees the moths rested on. Which of the following statements best describes how the moths adapted to the new environment over time?

• The moths adapted to the new environment through isolation.

• The moths adapted to the new environment by changes in the genetics of the population.

• The moths adapted to the new environment by becoming a generalist species.

Multiple Choice

Which of the following best shows the process of natural selection/evolution?

• A lizard's color becomes brown as it sits on a log.

• A bear goes into hibernation.

• A plant loses its leaves in a drought.

• A population of mosquitoes develops resistance to a pesticide.
