LIFE SCIENCE

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: -Survival of the fittest: A term that refers to the survival of only those organisms best able (fittest) to obtain and utilize resources, resulting in the evolution of organisms that are best adapted to the environment.

Detailed explanation-3: -Adaptations are inheritable characteristics that increase an organism’s ability to survive and reproduce in an environment. Adaptations can help an organism find food and water, protect itself, or manage in extreme environments.

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.

Detailed explanation-5: -These are ways a particular organism behaves to survive in its natural habitat. Migration of animals and birds are considered as a behavioural adaptation. Hibernation and aestivation are also behavioural adaptations.
