Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

In science, any alteration in the structure or function of an organism or any of its parts that results from natural selection and by which the organism becomes better able to survive and multiply in its environment is called an ____

A	mutation
B	adaptation
C	advantage
D	evolution

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -A change in the structure and function of an organism that results from a natural process by which an organism is better fitted to survive and also multiply in an environment is called adaptation.

Detailed explanation-2: -The term “adaptation” refers to a change in an organism’s structure and function as a result of a natural process that makes the organism more suited to endure and proliferate in a given environment.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -In evolutionary theory, adaptation is the biological mechanism by which organisms adjust to new environments or to changes in their current environment.

Detailed explanation-5: -natural selection, process that results in the adaptation of an organism to its environment by means of selectively reproducing changes in its genotype, or genetic constitution.
