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: -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-3: -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-4: -This happens by the process of natural selection. By natural selection, the nature of the species gradually changes to become adapted to the niche. If a species becomes very well adapted to its environment, and if the environment does not change, species can exist for a very long time before they become extinct.
Detailed explanation-5: -In biology, fitness is the ability of an organism to survive and reproduce.
