Why did the population of moths change?
question vary...Need to mention industrial revolution, smoke, trees turning black, the mutated black moths were able to survive and reproduce better and their population grew.

How does DNA relate to evolution?
When there is a mutation in DNA and it is good, that makes it an adaptation because it allows the organism to better survive in its environment. Then over generations and generations those good traits will be passed on and bad traits will die off, leading to evolution of a species

Give me a 1 example of why a camel is well adapted to their environment
long eyelashes to protect eyes from sand and sun, fat filled humps to keep them cool or warm (thermoregulate), long legs to keep their bodies away from hot sand, can drink HUGE amounts of water and store it for long periods of time, they do not sweat/ urinate less/ dry dung to holf onto as much water as possible, wide hooves to be able to walk ontop sand
