THIS IS ON THE SAME QUIZ The total population graphs below display the results of two different five-year hunting cycles, one on light trees and one on dark trees. How do these results demonstrate natural selection?
2 population graphs with Year on the x-axis from 0 to 5 and percent of total population on the y-axis from 0 to 100. Top graph: Light trees population increases from 50 percent to 100 percent. Dark trees population decreases from 50 percent to 0 percent.
a.
The moth populations shown here demonstrate random fluctuations over time that are not explained by tree color.
b.
The moths that are a different color than the trees in their environment thrive over time due to camouflage, and their populations increase.
c.
The moths that are the same color as the trees in their environment thrive over time due to camouflage, and their populations increase.
d.
The graphs actually show a result that is opposite of what is expected from natural selection.
