It is an increase in the adaptiveness of many species that have already evolved.
It is the process by which natural selection improves the match between a population and its
environment over generations.
It is large-scale movement of a single species over a new geographic area.
It occurs when a more adapted species causes the extinction of a less adapted one.

force new color mutations to occur.
improve the match between guppies that reproduce and their environment.
change the color preferences of female guppies.
convert a dominant allele into a recessive allele.
When a brightly colored guppy population is placed in an area containing many visual
predators, the population changes in only a few generations to one containing only
guppies with drab, dull colors that blend into their environment. This is an example of how
natural selection can
