Detailed explanation-1: -Evolutionary adaptation, or simply adaptation, is the adjustment of organisms to their environment in order to improve their chances at survival in that environment.

Detailed explanation-2: -An adaptation can also be behavioral, affecting the way an organism responds to its environment. An example of a structural adaptation is the way some plants have adapted to life in dry, hot deserts. Plants called succulents have adapted to this climate by storing water in their short, thick stems and leaves.

Detailed explanation-3: -An adaptation is a characteristic that makes a plant or animal more suited to its environment, thus improving its chance for survival. Most living things have a variety of adaptations. These are classified as either behavioral or physical adaptations.

Detailed explanation-4: -Natural selection is the mechanism that increases the probability of advantageous traits in the coming generations. Adaptation is the characteristic that changes according to the environment. 2. Example: Some giraffes have a long neck and others have short necks if low-lying shrubs die.
