What is the difference between regulation and homeostasis?

acclimatization is "The physiological adaptation of an animal or plant to changes in climate or environment, such as light, temperature, or altitude." homeostasis is "The ability or tendency of an organism or cell to maintain internal equilibrium by adjusting its physiological processes." acclimatization changes and homeostasis stays the same. both defintions taken from answers.com


Difference between adaptation and natural selection?

Adaptation are the physical or the behavioral traits that make an organism better fits to its environment while the Variation usually comes from random mutations. Mutations are iniatially cause by a new heritable traits.


What was the problem with Lamarck's theory of inheritance of traits?

It's core principle is that individual organisms can pass characteristics acquired during their lifetime to offspring; for example, a thin man works out his whole life and develops large muscles, then has a son who will also have the large muscles. However current evolutionary theory dictates that only the genetic information that determines the genetic potential of an organism is passed on to offspring - in the example, his dad was thin so he will be too - so acclimation within this genetic potential (What Lamarckian theory would suggest is passed on) is not.Of course as with most things within evolutionary theory that's just the current thinking, recent developments in Epigenetics for example suggest Lamarckian inheritance or aspects of it may actually exist within nature to some extent.

What is the difference between acclimation and adaptation?

Acclimation is the process of becoming adjusted to a new environment or situation like its something your body naturally does. adaptation is not what the body automatically does you normally have to do something in order to adapt to something like weather for instance you would go get a jaket to adapt to the weather. but its diffrent for animals for example a dog sheds in the summer that's acclimation. it automatically happens but your body doesn't just adjust its self to jus remain it's regular temp. in -7 degree weather.


How is adaptation and acclimation different?

Adaptation is a long-term evolutionary process where a species undergoes genetic changes over generations to better survive in its environment. In contrast, acclimation refers to the short-term physiological adjustments an individual organism makes in response to environmental changes, such as temperature or altitude, without altering its genetic makeup. While adaptation leads to permanent changes in a population, acclimation is reversible and occurs within the lifetime of an organism.
