Which outcome occurs when the Peppered Moth blends proficiently using camouflage due to changed lichen coverage?

A)Differential predation favors cryptic phenotypes
B)Genetic heterozygosity decreases rapidly overall
C)Mutation rate accelerates in melanin genes
D)Gene flow with melanic isolates stops

💡 Explanation

Differential predation altering camouflage causes increased survival fitness using natural selection because moths better concealed from predators survive and reproduce, therefore resulting in a shift to favored cryptic phenotypes, rather than accelerated mutation rates without environmental selection pressure.
