Detailed explanation-1: -An adaptation is any heritable trait that helps an organism, such as a plant or animal, survive and reproduce in its environment.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are three types of adaptations: structural, physiological, and behavioral. Structural adaptations are how the animal’s body functions or looks on the outside. Body parts (like feet and ears) and body coverings (like fur and scales) are structural adaptations.
Detailed explanation-3: -Definition: A biological characteristic with a heritable basis that improves reproduction and/or survival and results from evolution by natural selection.
Detailed explanation-4: -Natural selection is a mechanism of evolution. Organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success. This process causes species to change and diverge over time.
