10
Name three main reasons that could cause the
extinction of a species
11

disease
12
Variation is the result of

16
The fact that brown moths are easier seen, and
are less likely to survive in a forest is an
example of
17
Natural selection
18
Green moths survive better than brown moths in
the forest because
19
Their coloring makes them better adapted.
