Question

Imagine a population of moths. White moths are easier for birds to see and eat. Black moths blend into their surroundings, so they are less visible to birds than white moths. As a result, black moths are more likely to survive and reproduce, enabling the gene for black coloration to be passed on to the next generation. This increases the frequency of genes for black coloration in the population. Which evolutionary process does this scenario describe

Answer 1

The correct answer is - natural selection.

Step-by-step explanation:

Natural selection is a process of adapting according to the environmental change in order to survive and reproduce and increase their number. It is represented by Darwin for the first time. Natural selection leads to evolution.

In this case, White moths adapt according to the environment by increasing the population of black moths in order to blend with the surrounding and as the result, black moths are more likely to produce and survive and passed this trait to the next generation.
