Moth+Birds

1. What coloration is the best adaptation for a gray background? Use your data to support your answer.

The white coloration is the best adaptation for a gray background. This is because the birds will be able to see the moths a lot faster than on a white background.

2. With the current move to recycle,laws for cleaner air and an overall cleaning up of the environment, what do you predict the color of the moths to be in the future generations? Explain your thoughts.

The color might be blacker because if we look at today's generation no one really helps they just say they feel bad or other stuff like this but they really don't do anything,some can be really hypocritical. . But some who do care will do something and have started, if they can get more people to do the same maybe the color will just a little grayer. But some people don't even know that other insects and animal's environments depend on the color for their adaptation. Another reason why the moths will be a little grayer is due to nuclear waste. I know that nuclear waste doesn't have any color but the smoke that comes out of the nuclear factories and other factories can not only cause harm but also effect the moths a lot.

3. How does this lab demonstrate Natural Selection? Justify your answer.

This lab has a demonstration of Natural Selection because the moths are adapting to their environmnet in order to survive. In the lighter background the lighter moths have a better chance to survive, in the darker background the dark moths get to survive. Both the moths get to survive from their preys at a fifty-percent (or less or more) chance each. So it is fair for both types of moths.
