Title: What variation exists in the peppered moth population? Is one of these variation
Post by: skittles1057 on Jul 19, 2016
What variation exists in the peppered moth population? Is one of these variations considered an adaptation? Explain.


Over 200 years ago, all of the peppered moths in a certain population were light-coloured. How could the first dark-coloured moth have occurred in the population?
(Hint: How are new variations created in populations?)


Explain how a variation that at one time gave a selective advantage became a disadvantage when the environment changed. How did this affect the variation in the population of peppered moths?
