What are the six different types of adaptations for animals?

Answer 1

Adaptation is a process where a population becomes better suited to survive in it's environment. The three types of adaption are as follows:

Morphological Adaptation: The actual structure of an animal's body parts that adapts to its environment. For example, birds have certain beaks that allow them to adapt to the types of foods they eat.

Behavioral Adaptation: This can be passed along through genetics. Good examples are birds flying south for winter or squirrels nesting.

Physiological Adaptation: This describes how the body works and adapts. For example, it could be that cows have specific digestive procedures to help digest the grass and food they eat. A change in the animal's diet can lead to a physiological adaptation.

Answer 2

Structural - physical features of an organism; (shape, body covering, defensive or offensive armament...)

Physiological - permit the organism to perform special functions (making venom, secreting slime or ink, phototropism, hibernation, estivation) and general functions (growth, homeostasis)

Behavioral - composed of inherited behavior chains or the ability to learn (instincts, vocalizations, searching for food, mating, migration, resource partitioning, symbiosis, change shape...)

Answer 3

5 types of adaptation could be;

1. Shape e.g. shape of beak for cracking seeds
2. Size e.g. bigger feet
3. Diet e.g. changing what it eats
4. Colour e.g. white fur in winter
5. Sense e.g. better sense of smell

Answer 4

1) Mimicry

2) Behavior...
