The fact that the Colorado plants reproduce asexually suggests that they are adapted to a stable environment where conditions have not changed significantly enough to require genetic variation through sexual reproduction. Therefore, the Colorado environment is more likely to be stable than the New England environment, where genetic variation through sexual reproduction is necessary for adaptation and survival.
