types of adaptation pack 8 Flashcards
adaptation is when
organisms have specialised features that increase their chance of survival and reproduction in the environment in which they live
what happens when a species is adapted
it means they can then pass alleles for these advantageous characteristics on their offspring in the next generation
behavioural adaptation
how an organism acts to increase its chance of survival or reproduction
example of behavioural adaptation
wolves hunting in packs
physiological adaptation
processed inside an organism that increase its chance of survival or reproduction
example of physiological adaptation
poison made by a snake
anatomical adaptation
structural features of an organism that increase its chance of survival or reproduction
example of anatomical reproduction
white coloured fur of a polar bear
co- adaptation
when two difference species evolve together in tandem and become dependent on each other, making them more closely adapted
