Mutations are changes in the DNA of an organism. If these mutations help an organism survive in its environment, it would be considered an adaption.

What describes a evolution as a slow ongoing process?
i beleive its adaptation or mutation
What is the relationship between sensory adaptation and negative adaptation?
the relationship between sensory adaptation and negative adaptation?
What is a harmful mutation?
a mutation is sometimes a form of adaptation, but if something changes in the DNA of the species and could possibly be harmful to it, that is a harmful mutation.Examples:-born without a part of the brain-cancer is a form of a harmful mutation-hypoglycemia
How are adaptation and mutation related?
If an organism adapts to something it means that that organism has been changed. And a change is a mutation, so they are very related. If an organism needs to adapt it has to change itself ( to mutate ).
Is there a difference between adaption and adaptation?
No. "Adaptation" is the preferred form.
Is mutation the same as successful reproduction?
A mutation is basically a change in genes. They may be good or bad. A good mutation is also known as an adaptation.
How is mutation different from an adaptation?

What of the four evolutionary mechanisms is responsible for adaptation?
Mutation, Reproduction.

Is double muscle an adaptation of cows?
No. Double muscling is a genetic mutation that has been tapped by humans all for the purpose of producing more and leaner beef. It is not an adaptation at all.
How can a mutation lead to an adaptation?
A mutation is an evolution of the deceased ancestors which takes decades to form. Example: in the past, whales had legs and elephants never had trunks--million years later (present time), whales have fins and elephants have trunks. An adaptation is getting used to--like bacteria becoming resistance towards antibiotics and how we, humans, are suited with most of the environment around us. How can a mutation lead to an adaptation? Adaptation tends to be faster than mutation, but both help the organism to survive; natural selection. Since mutation is known to occur randomly; mutation can lead to adaptation by "choosing" an organism for the "survival of the fittest". Additionally, an adaptation is a mutation. When an mutation is occurring, genes are passed down from generation to generation. As more and more organisms are inheriting the mutation, they become a typical part of the species. The mutation has become an adaption.
Do all whales have the same adaptation?
Yes,all whales has same adaptation.
