Which of the following best explains the phenomenon of heterophylly observed in buttercup?
1. The plant produces different leaf shapes at juvenile and mature stages due to internal genetic programming
2. The plant develops distinct leaf forms in water versus air, demonstrating environmentally induced plasticity
3. The plant undergoes mutation in response to changing seasons, altering its leaf morphology permanently
4. The plant mimics the leaf shape of neighboring species as an adaptive survival mechanism
