Answer 1

Answer:

moths would begin becoming lighter as the pollution is reduced

Explanation:

The color of the moths would begin becoming lighter as the pollution is reduced. This is because during the time of high amounts of pollution industrial melanism takes place and the moth's pigmentation becomes a darker tone. This is so that the moths are able to blend in better with its surroundings and survive. Pollution causes sulphur dioxide gas and dark soot deposits which have a greyish dark tone, thats why moths pigmentation turns darker. With pollution reduced moths need a lighter colored pigment to blend into lighter colored objects such as trees and leaves.

Answer 2

The color of the Moths will become lighter as a result of this due to the effect

pollution has on its color.

Industries and factories make use of fuel and when it is burned in generating

sets and other equipment it produces the compound known as Nitrogen

oxide.

The Nitrogen oxide has a brownish color which goes into the atmosphere

where the moths fly in  thereby contact with the gas darkens the color  to

shades of brown. A reduction in the discharge of the gas will lead to it

becoming lighter.
