Even though all cells in a multicellular organism (except sex cells) contain a complete copy of that organism's DNA, not every gene is activated in all cells. Cells are specialized in that they only synthesize proteins from the genes that are "turned on" in those particular cells. For example, islet cells in the pancreas synthesize insulin but do not make hemoglobin, although both proteins are necessary for human life.

What animals adapt?

Animals cant adapt in an instant, it takes from 1 week to 1000 years! The smaller it is, the easier it will die if its habitat changes, but it is the quickest to adapt if it doesn't die. If an animal's climate changed to 10 degrees Celsius every year, it will quickly adapt. How do animals adapt? Every living organism is made up of cells. There are muscel cells, brain cells, nerve cells, blood cells, and more. As each cell lives from 1 minute to 1 week, cells split in half to form a new cells that will take over its place. When an animals' cell feels a difference in the animal's lifestyle, it will try to evolve a new cell of its type that will survive.
