Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which adaptation has occurred due to genetic variation allowing some species to seem invisible to predators?
A
ability to make loud noises
B
exceptional vision
C
camouflage
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Camouflage allows organisms to become almost invisible to predators. Some species have evolved morphological adaptations that allow them to blend in with their environments.

Detailed explanation-2: -ABSTRACT. Camouflage – adaptations that prevent detection and/or recognition – is a key example of evolution by natural selection, making it a primary focus in evolutionary ecology and animal behaviour. Most work has focused on camouflage as an anti-predator adaptation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Camouflage has been a textbook example of natural selection and adaptation since the time of the earliest evolutionists.

Detailed explanation-4: -Genetic variations that alter gene activity or protein function can introduce different traits in an organism. If a trait is advantageous and helps the individual survive and reproduce, the genetic variation is more likely to be passed to the next generation (a process known as natural selection).
