Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The peppered moths will be easier for predators to spot and hunt since they no longer camouflage with their habitat. The moths who are darker in color will survive to pass on their traits for darker wings to their offspring, and eventually there will be very little to no light-winged moths left, since that trait is unfavorable.

If the majority of peppered moths are light and the trees they live on are turned a dark color by pollution, do you think the peppered moth population will be affected?
