Because earthworms are sensitive to light, they usually spend their days in the ground or in leaf litter. This sensitivity is an advantage to them because, if they spent their days in the sunlight, they would dehydrate and die.
Adaptive radiation is the term used to describe the process of a single lineage giving rise to multiple diverse forms in response to different selective pressures in different environments. This phenomenon often results in the development of distinct adaptations and ecological roles within the same lineage.
The dogs' response was as eager as a child on Christmas morning.
An animal's immediate automatic response to an external stimulus will vary depending on the circumstance. When the external environment is stimulated there is a response that is triggered.
well, you get many types like:australopithecus afarensisaustralopithecus africanushomo erectushomo habilishomo sapienhomo sapien sapien
Extinction is the behavioral state reached when the stimulus no longer elicits a response due to repeated presentation without reinforcement. It involves the weakening and eventual disappearance of the conditioned response learned during the conditioning process.
A response to adapt to a situation...for example fear could create an adaptive response to "fight or flee", or could paralyze the person into inaction.
adaptive immune response
True
Antigens
Humoral
An organism in action and change in behavior that occurs as a result of a stimulus is known as a response. When an organism perceives a stimulus from its environment, it triggers a response that can be behavioral, physiological, or cognitive in nature. This response is an essential aspect of an organism's ability to adapt and survive in its surroundings.

Adaptive Thermogenesis: This can be defined as the regulated production of heat in response to environmental changes in temperature and diet, resulting in metabolic inefficiency. For example, shivering when we are cold uses energy and this is an example of adaptive thermogenesis. (Alexander Bowring 24 / 04 / 2008)
Advantage is that it gives a specific response. In a secondary exposure it responds so quickly you may not even feel sick. It is able to retain a long term memory against that specific pathogen as well. Disadvantage is that primary exposure it takes 1-2 weeks to start producing a response against a foreign pathogen. Also it is possible for your adaptive immunity to attack self cells, also called autoimmunity.
When we say the adaptive immune response has "memory," it means that the immune system can remember specific pathogens it has encountered before. This allows the immune system to respond more quickly and effectively if the same pathogen enters the body again in the future.
An antigen is actually foreign or toxic to the human body. It stimulates an adaptive immune response and binds to a antibody.
