Indicate the appropriate mechanism(s) of evolution at work in the following: Remember that forces may oppose one another! Choose from: Non-random or Assortative mating Sexual selection Gene flow (Migration) Kin selection Genetic drift (Founder effect, Bottleneck, Mutation Natural (but non-sexual) selection. etc.) Prior to 1970 a population of moths with dark brown coloration blended in well with the trees they live on. Bird predation on the moths is very low in the population. In 1976 a deletion in the genetic code of an individual male moth occurred, resulting in a new color morph (White). The white moth was favored for mating by the wild females, and by 1980 14% of moths in the population exhibited the white color. Jays (birds that feed on moths) in the area could readily see these white moths and, once they had learned to look for them, eliminate the white moths from the population by 1981. Mechanism(s) observed from 1970-1976:
