The reduced-bony-armor allele of the Eda gene is present in only about 1% of marine populations, but is predominant in freshwater populations of stickleback fish. What can we conclude?  

_____    Bony armor increases fitness in the marine environment, but reduces fitness in the freshwater environment. _____  Freshwater fish with more bony armor have higher fitness than freshwater fish with less armor. _____  Bony armor is an environmentally-controlled trait, not a genetic trait. _____  The allele arose after the divergence of freshwater sticklebacks. _____  The freshwater environment caused a high rate of mutation in the DNA.
