You perform an experiment and place a male stickleback fish in an environment with other male and female sticklebacks. You notice the male will attack and fight other males to the death. You observe that the male sticklebacks have red bellies and the females do not. You investigate to see if the male recognizes the red bellies and decide to place a red object in the environment. You record that the male attacks the red object. Based on an analysis of the data from your investigation, which conclusion can be made?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the record that the male attacks the red object, the conclusion that can be made is that they recognize when the other sticklebacks are female or male thanks to their red belly and when they have to attack the other to the death, this is part of the natural selection where animals compete to simply reproduce with the female.
