There are green butterflies in a forest. A factory gets built and smog accumulates. Many of the butterflies no longer have the same camouflage, and natural selection takes place. If there are any darker butterflies they will become more dominant as there will become competition, and eventually it will evolve to possibly grey.

Complex adaptive systems are systems that change and restructure themselves based on changes in their environment. These types of systems can range from ant colonies to global economy investments. Perhaps one of the best examples of complex adaptive systems is the internet.

This is called Evolution
When microevolution occurs over many generations, inherited characteristics can lead to changes in populations. This can result in the adaptation of populations to their environment, leading to the emergence of new traits and the evolution of new species. This process drives biodiversity and is driven by natural selection acting on genetic variation within a population.

This process is called adaptive evolution. It occurs when certain inherited traits become more prevalent in a population over time due to their advantage in the environment. This leads to changes in the population's genetic composition, allowing it to better survive and reproduce in its specific ecological niche.
Macro-evolution. Or, more accurately, speciation.
Our genes decide what characteristics we inherit, but the environment can affect how these inherited characteristics develop, like a person could be tall but in their childhood have a poor diet which cause poor growth.
Not all physical changes are reversible because most times when such changes occur parts of the substance is lost to the environment.
depends on if the trait changes a little when inherited if it does not change than no
