A change in structure or behavior that helps a living thing survive in its environment?

An adaptation is a change in structure or behavior that helps a living thing survive in its environment. It enhances the organism's ability to thrive and reproduce in its surroundings, increasing its chances of survival. Adaptations can result from genetic changes over time or through learning and behavioral modifications.


What are the features of an organism that help it to survive and reproduce called?

Those features are called adaptations. Adaptations are traits or behaviors that help an organism survive and reproduce in its environment.


How are behavioral adaptations and structural adaptations alike and different?

Behavioural adaptations involve changes in how an individual/species acts in relation to its environment (e.g. hibernation). Structural adapations are changes in the biological make-up of the species (mutuations in its DNA) which change how the species/individual looks or works structurally (e.g. different colourations).Answer 2Both types of adaptations concern the variation and inheritance of heritable traits. The difference between the two is that one type of inherited change affects the 'behaviour' of the organism (ie. the way it moves, where it goes, what it does there, and so on), while the other affects the biology of the organism in a more limited way (ie. the shape of its skeleton, the efficiency of its metabolism, etc).

Because the adaptations that get established are a consequence of the environment. Any other adaptations that "do not fit the environment" get discarded via natural selection.


What are physical adaptations?

Physical adaptations are modifications or changes in an organism's body structure or function that help it survive and thrive in its environment. These adaptations can include things like changes in body shape, color, or the development of specific organs or abilities that aid in the organism's survival and reproduction. Examples include camouflage, protective armor, or specialized appendages for feeding or locomotion.

In what ways are plants adapted to their environment?

Plants are adapted to their environment for growth, reproduction and sustaining life there after. For this there are certain modifications in the structure and function. For example xerophytic plants develop better vasculature and water conservation characterstics.


What adaptations does the water millipede have to thrive in its aquatic environment?
