Did the moth's diet or genes change the proteins that it gets? The genes change the moth's protein because the moths had a mutation and the mutation started off by changing their genetic code and then changing their protein to change their trait.

What is the connection between these moths and natural selection? The moths had natural selection to change the way they look so that the predators can't see them making them able to reproduce more efficient.

Does evolution change a species look entirely? Not entirely it can change drastic, but some parts of the organism has to or should stay the same.

How did the species get to look the way they do now? Over time, they learned how to adapt to their environment and this change the way they behave look and what's happening inside of them.

How do the moth's adapt to the environment? If these moths stand out for predators to see, there would be a decrease in their population. Since, the predators would easily spot them in their habitat. This is when moths change to the way they look or behave, to have a better chance at survival.

How does evolution happen? Overtime the species adapt to their environment over time and can almost change their whole look.

Why did the evolution of the moths get rid of the peppered moth? It got rid of them because without a change the peppered moths will have no chance of survival and less chance of reproducing.

Can bugs also change from their environment? Yes any organism can change because of their environment. If there wasn't any bugs, that would mean they can't change from their environment due to the decrease of survival. We have evidence because we still see bugs today, Like a (stick bug)

Has the moth's environment been changed by "climate change?" I say yes because when the forest change to black because of the chemicals/pollution. And when winter came when it snowed i think the black moths were more notice able since their no longer be able to be able to blend in.

Which pattern do most of these moths have today? They have a wide range of different types of camouflage because they mutated to have this so they have better chance of survival.

Are there still peppered moths today? Yes, there are still peppered moths today. Today, population of mostly dark-colored peppered moths are decreasing due to cleaner forest.

Was it certain chemicals/pollution that made them all change? The chemicals in the air changed the chance of survival of the moths and natural selection change their color to blend in so they have more chance of survival.
