adaptations

Answer 1

• anatomical - changes to body structure - e.g. oily fur
• physiological - changes to bodily processes - e.g. venom production
• behavioural - changes to actions - e.g. hibernation

Question 2

why might organisms from different taxonomic groups show similar features?

Answer 2

marsupial moles and placental moles live in different continents, but share similar anatomical features because they adapted to similar environments
