In the picture, there is a dark moth and light moth on each tree. If all the trees are dark colored
(without lichens) like the tree on the right, which moth is more likely to survive? DS

If all the trees are dark-colored (without lichens) like the tree on the right, the moth that would most likely survive longest is the dark-colored moth.
Explanation:
This is because of natural selection (which means "A process in which individual organisms or phenotypes that possess favourable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce: the differential survival and reproduction of phenotypes.") The dark-colored moth is best adapted to its surroundings compared to the light-colored moth, and it will survive the longest (of the two) according to this definition of natural selection.
