A population of a certain kind of fish is introduced into a new habitat. These fish have variations in color from light to dark. Because of the lighting conditions and predators in this new habitat, light colored fish survive better near the surface and dark-colored fish survive better near the bottom.

What change would likely result after many generations of these fish living in these two environments?

• All the fish would become more similar, something exactly between light-colored and dark-colored.

• None of the fish would be able to survive, because the new habitat is not suited to any of them.

• There would be two populations reproductively isolated fish, light-colored near the surface and dark-colored near the bottom.

• The fish would become smaller over time so that they could more easily defend themselves from predators.
