Really need help with this Biology question:
The graph shows the results of a famous biological experiment. In the experiment, Kettlewell believed that the peppered moth demonstrated how environmental pressures influence evolution. He studied two areas. Birmingham was a rural wood, with natural conditions. Dorset was an urban area. The moths use tree trunks to camouflage themselves against birds, which are their major predators. Natural gene variations produce a light form of the peppered moth, and a dark form, meaning that they are not equally visible.
Your science teacher takes a batch of peppered moths to an environment with an entirely different color, like a rainforest, where the predominant color is green. After several generations, you would predict that…?
A) It is impossible to predict using only the given data.
B) Since it is not their home environment, almost all the moths will be dead.
C) Many moths will have developed green coloring to help hide from predators.
D) Almost all the moths will have developed either green or light brown coloration.
