Its a AP Biology 5th edition question please answer this question i will be so thankful to u...?

Female silkworm moths attract males by emitting chemical signals that spread through the air. a male hundreds of meters away can detect these molecules and fly toward there source. the sensory organs responsible for this behavior ore the comb like antennae . each filament of an antennae is equipped with thousands of receptors cell that detect the sex attractant. based on what i have here, propose a hypothesis to account for the ability of the male moth to detect a specific molecule in the presence of many other molecules in the air. what prediction does ur hypothesis make? design an experiment to test one of these predictions.
