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: -Genetic variation in a group of organisms enables some organisms to survive better than others in the environment in which they live.

Detailed explanation-3: -“Adaptation is defined as the process where a species or an organism gradually becomes better acclimated to its environment.” Adaption refers to the behavioral or physical attributes of an animal that helps them survive better in its ecosystem.

Detailed explanation-4: -An adaptation is defined as a physical or behavioral feature of an animal that helps them better survive in their environment. In other words, an adaptation is something on their body or something they do with their bodies that help them find food, water, mates, and shelter.

Detailed explanation-5: -Adaptations develop when certain variations or differences in a population help some members survive better than others (Figure below). The variation may already exist within the population, but often the variation comes from a mutation, or a random change in an organism’s genes.
