The document discusses how the case of moths relates to the theory of evolution through natural selection. It explains that moths have genetic variations due to random mutation that allow some to better resist environmental challenges and adapt, while others cannot survive under the new conditions. This led to a decline in the population of moths that could not adapt as well when the environment changed, demonstrating natural selection and how it can cause changes in a species over generations.

The case of the moths is a part of the evolution theory. To define
evolution, it is a process in which species have heritable variation in their genetic material that causes change in population over generations. According to the text, the moths appear to have a variation in their genes which is from random mutation that makes differences among moths to resist environmental challenges while others do not. Also, some moths are able to survive, reproduce and adapt to the environment in a better way than others. This leads to a natural selection mechanism which occurs naturally between species through their certain traits. In evidence, moths were divided into two different groups where some were able to combat the environmental factors for growing and surviving. However, other moths were unable to survive under extreme conditions of environment which lead them to die and become rare in population. In my investigation, this case is not considered to be an artificial selection because humans did change the climate but did not choose any desirable traits to appear in moths for breeding. In conclusion, evolution plays an important role in the development of species like moths by using natural selection mechanisms to survive and reproduce under certain environmental conditions.
