In 1978, scientists studied how the fitness of marine sticklebacks would be affected if they were
introduced into a freshwater environment. They collected 90 male and 90 female sticklebacks from a
marine population and 10 male and 10 female sticklebacks from a freshwater population. The 200
sticklebacks were introduced into a freshwater environment that had no stickleback fish previously.
Which of the following best describes the likely results of the scientists' investigation of the fitness of
