← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when the Peppered Moth blends proficiently using camouflage due to changed lichen coverage?
A)Differential predation favors cryptic phenotypes✓
B)Genetic heterozygosity decreases rapidly overall
C)Mutation rate accelerates in melanin genes
D)Gene flow with melanic isolates stops
💡 Explanation
Differential predation altering camouflage causes increased survival fitness using natural selection because moths better concealed from predators survive and reproduce, therefore resulting in a shift to favored cryptic phenotypes, rather than accelerated mutation rates without environmental selection pressure.
