Peppered moth populations in England during the Industrial Revolution have been used as a classic example of natural selection. This graph shows how the moth populations differed in different environments. Natural gene variations produced a light colored peppered moth and a dark moth. They were studied in two different areas: Birmingham and Dorset. Based on the data, what would you expect to be true of the environments studied? Select ALL that apply.
