Detailed explanation-1: -An ADAPTATION is any structure or behavior that helps an organism survive in its environment. A STRUCTURAL ADAPTATION is an inherited body structure. Webbed feet, sharp claws, beak type, wings for flying, feathers, fur, scales, spines, thorns, or types of leaves, can all help organisms survive in an environment.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are three types of adaptations: structural, physiological, and behavioral. Structural adaptations are how the animal’s body functions or looks on the outside. Body parts (like feet and ears) and body coverings (like fur and scales) are structural adaptations.
Detailed explanation-3: -Behavioral adaptation: something an animal does usually in response to some type of external stimulus in order to survive. Hibernating during winter is an example of a behavioral adaptation.
Detailed explanation-4: -The three basic types of adaptations, based on how the genetic changes are expressed, are structural, physiological and behavioral adaptations. Most organisms have combinations of all these types.
