Why was guppy research involving transporting guppies to new habitats and observing changes in reproductive traits able to demonstrate both evolution and adaptation?   I) the changes in reproductive traits were predicted by the change in environment II) they demonstrated that the guppies had become a different species III) demonstrate that the guppies never changed back over many years IV) demonstrate that guppy reproductive traits had a genetic basis (in the lab) Group of answer choices A.

Evolutionary adaptations

Evolutionary adaptation is the process through which organisms adapt or adjust to their surroundings to increase the chances of survival, mating, and reproduction. An organism's behavior, physiology, and structure are adjusted or changed to make it more suited to its environment.
