What are the two types of behavioral adaptation

All organisms have adaptations that help them survive and thrive. Some adaptations are structural. Structural adaptations are physical features of an organism like the bill on a bird or the fur on a bear. Other adaptations are behavioral. Behavioral adaptations are the things organisms do to survive. For example, bird calls and migration are behavioral adaptations.
Adaptations are the result of evolution. Evolution is a change in a species over long periods of time.
Adaptations usually occur because a gene mutates or changes by accident! Some mutations can help an animal or plant survive better than others in the species without the mutation.
For example, imagine a bird species. One day a bird is born with a beak that is longer than the beak of other birds in the species. The longer beak helps the bird catch more food. Because the bird can catch more food, it is healthier than the other birds, lives longer and breeds more. The bird passes the gene for a longer beak on to its offspring. They also live longer and have more offspring and the gene continues to be inherited generation after generation.
Eventually the longer beak can be found in all of the species. This doesn't happen overnight. It takes thousands of years for a mutation to be found in an entire species.
Over time, animals that are better adapted to their environment survive and breed. Animals that are not well adapted to an environment may not survive.
The characteristics that help a species survive in an environment are passed on to future generations. Those characteristics that don't help the species survive slowly disappear.

Answer:

The 2 types of behavioral adaptation are migration, and hibernation.

Explanation:

Adaptation of animal is the fitness towards its environment. If an animal can't adapt, it will perish with time. Adaptation may be genetic or acquired. But basically, adaptation is 2 types - physical adaptation, and behavioral adaptation.  

Physical adaptation includes the coloring of the body, camouflage activity of an organism. The behavioral adaptation is the respond of the organisms to their habitat. This includes hibernation, estivation, migration, etc.

Some animals are affected by the temperature difference of the environment. Therefore, they adopt some methods to survive in extreme temperatures.

The cold-blooded like amphibians hibernate during winter.  They undergo a long sleep during cold weather and become active in summer.  Similarly some animals like desert lizard active in the morning. When the temperature increase they burrow themselves under the ground. This is called estivation.

Birds migrate during the adverse season i.e. in winter. They temporarily go to a different place to spend the cold month and return during the advent of summer. This is one type of behavioral adaptation. They also migrate for better breeding ground and food.  

Some fishes also migrate for breeding and food.

Investigators have arrived at a crime scene and are ready to search for evidence. What needs to happen next?
denpristay [2]

Answer: C . They should map out a grid to systematically look for evidence.

Explanation:

As a crime has been committed, the investigators do not need a search warrant so there is no need to ask a Judge for one so option A is incorrect.

It is best if evidence is searched for in different locations not just the primary scene so option B is incorrect.

Setting up a grip to enable the systematic analysis of evidence is their most likely course of action so option C is correct.

Even if the case is not complicated, evidence still needs to be searched for so option D is wrong.

What is the kinetic energy of a 155 kg object that is moving with a speed of 18 m/s? With Details.
kherson [118]

Kinetic energy = 1/2 * mass * velocity^2 so Ke = 1/2*(155*10^3 g)*18^2 which is 25,110,000 joules.

you are an employer and know from genetic testing that the most qualified applicant for the job has a 70 % chance of developing
Ludmilka [50]
I would hire this person because the disease is non-communicable. Plus, small cold and cough problems will not affect the performance of the person and therefore, there are little chances that he/she will take frequent holidays. Further, morally this job will help the person financially, in getting the proper treatment of the disease, if it occurs. And this will also raise the confidence and personality of the person. If the person has the skills that match our requirements, I will definitely hire him, despite his chances of developing multiple sclerosis.
