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: -Adaptation: The adjustment or changes in behavior, physiology, and structure of an organism to become more suited to an environment.
Detailed explanation-3: -This variation means that some individuals have traits better suited to the environment than others. 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.
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.
Detailed explanation-5: -A Darwinian adaptation is an organism’s feature that was functionally designed by the process of evolution by selection acting in nature in the past. Functional design rules out explanations of drift, incidental effect, phylogenetic legacy and mutation.
