1. B. Burmese pythons only2. G. Natural selection3. B. an alligator
Explanation
1. Burmese pythons are considered invasive in the Florida Everglades because they are not native to the region and have a significant negative impact on the ecosystem.2. Adaptation due to the introduction of a new species typically occurs through natural selection, where advantageous traits become more common in the population over generations.3. The designation "Federal non-essential experimental population (FXN)" typically applies to species that are being reintroduced or managed under specific conservation programs. Alligators have been part of such programs.
