What are the two types of behavioral adaptation

Biology

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.

Answer:

A heart attack occurs when the flow of blood that carries oxygen to the heart is blocked. The myocardium is deprived of oxygen and begins to die.

A person who has a heart attack may have some of these symptoms, or all of them:

Uncomfortable pressure, inflammation or oppressive pain in the center of the chest

Discomfort or pain that spreads beyond the chest to the shoulders, back, neck, jaw, teeth, one or both arms, and sometimes the upper abdomen

Shortness of breath

Stun, dizziness and fainting

Sweating

Sickness

Usually, a heart attack causes chest pain for more than 15 minutes, but it also may not show any symptoms. It is important to know that other symptoms may occur in addition to chest pain, such as indigestion or persistent pain in the neck or jaw.

Many people who have a heart attack have warning signs in advance of hours, days or weeks.

7nadin3 [17]

Blank 1: <u>hawks and owls</u>

Explanation: Tertiary consumers lie on the top of the food web or pyramid. They are dependent on other organisms for their food. These are carnivores by mode of nutrition. Here, the food web sequence would be like-

small birds----->snakes----->hawks and owls.

That's why they are the tertiary consumers.

Blank 2: <u>decomposers </u>

Explanation: The organic matter of dead plants and animals is decomposed by decomposers. They breakdown the complex organic compounds into simpler substances.

Discuss the steps in cloning dolly the sheep
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Fertilised ovum from sheep + cell in sheep's mammary gland isolation

Diploid one cell isolated + nucleus from ovum

Nucleus inserted into empty ovum

Ovum implanted in uterus of unrelated sheep

Ovum develops into foetus

Explanation:

In this process a nucleus from a fertilised ovum was removed and replaced with a diploid nucleus of a cell from the mammary glands of another sheep. The ovum was implanted into the sheep's uterus. The resulting foetus "Dolly" born similar to donor sheep.

In mice, a short-tailed mutant was discovered. When it was crossed to a normal long-tailed mouse, 4 offspring were short-tailed
skad [1K]

Answer:

Dominant

Explanation:

Let the allele for short tail trait be represented by "T" and allele for long tail trait be represented by "t"

When a short tailed  mutant with genotype "tt" is mated with long tailed mouse, following offspring will be produced -

Tt * tt

Tt, Tt, tt, tt

so the ratio of short tailed and long tailed mouse is  1:1

Here it is given as 4:3 . Hence, there are chances that short tail trait is dominant

In the second generation , two short tailed mouse are crossed. The following offspring will be produced

Tt * Tt

TT, Tt, Tt, tt

The ration of short tailed and long tailed mouse is 3:1

Here it is given as 6:3 i.e 2:1  . Hence, short tail trait is dominant over long tail trait.
