Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Camouflage, also called cryptic coloration, is a defense or tactic that organisms use to disguise their appearance, usually to blend in with their surroundings. Organisms use camouflage to mask their location, identity, and movement. This allows prey to avoid predators, and for predators to sneak up on prey.
Detailed explanation-3: -Natural Selection occurs when nature favors an organism. This happens when the strongest and “best fit” to survive are able to reproduce. Offspring inherit traits that are good for the species. This process is one part of Darwin’s theory of evolution (along with common descent).
Detailed explanation-4: -Individuals with adaptive traits-traits that give them some advantage-are more likely to survive and reproduce. These individuals then pass the adaptive traits on to their offspring. Over time, these advantageous traits become more common in the population.
