Adaptation
Any inherited trait that increases the chances of survival of the organism. Otherwise known as an adaptation.
An inherited characteristic that increases an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in its specific environment is called an adaptation. Adaptations help organisms better suit their environment and increase their chances of survival and reproduction.
Organisms are affected by Natural Selection because Inherited characteristics affected the likelihood of an organism's survival and reproduction.
Adaptation."Darwin argued that fitness arises through a process called adaptation. Successful adaptations enable organisms to become better suited to their environment, better able to survive and reproduce. Darwin also used the word adaptation to describe any inherited characteristic that increases an animal's or plant's fitness for survival."-Prentice Hall Biology Text book.
in what way does the snail need the plant for survival
Reproduction
run and hide
Adaptation c==3
Characteristics that have been passed on by parents, grandparents, etc. These traits can often help certain organisms survive easier. i.e. thick polar bear fur, different types of teeth, etc.
Yes
== == The meaning of an inherited characteristic has to do with evolution. it is a trait that has been passed down from other generations to better your survival. It increases your "fitness", or the physical and behavhioral traits that enable an organism to survive.
The change in inherited characteristics over time is called evolution. Evolution occurs through a process of natural selection, where those inherited traits that provide individuals with a survival or reproductive advantage are more likely to be passed on to future generations. Over time, this can lead to the emergence of new species with different characteristics from their ancestors.
