Vedclass · Answer

(A) The case of the peppered moth $(Biston 	ext{ betularia})$ is a classic example of natural selection. Before industrialization in England, tree trunks were covered with light-colored lichens. White-winged moths were able to camouflage against this light-colored background, making them less visible to predators. Consequently, they had a higher survival rate compared to dark-winged moths. After industrialization, the soot killed the lichens and darkened the tree trunks, leading to a shift in the population towards dark-winged moths.

In which background were white-winged moths able to survive?
