Adaptations are
the result of evolution in different living organisms. This process occurs amazingly
through gene mutation but it takes a very long period in time. Adaptation
processes occur to help species survive and thrive in the ecological balance of
life. Structural adaptations are physical features of an organism that adapted
through time. An example of this are the bills of a bird and the fur of bears
that they generally need for their survival; birds for hunting, and bears to
protect them from low climate areas.

Functional or
Behavioral adaptations refer to particular things that an organism or organisms
do to survive. In the example above, behavioral adaptations that birds do is
through certain bird calls and migration, while bears hunt during warmer
seasons and hibernate during winter season. </span>
Out of the following given choices;
A. theory that fish and mammals have a common ancestry
B. theory that the first organisms on Earth were heterotrophs
C. close relationship between fish and mammalian reproductive patterns
D. close relationship between humans and annelids
The answer is A. Many embryos of the kingdom Animalia share similarities in the early stages depicting that they share a common ancestor. The gill slits is one example. They diverge in later stages to become Pharyngeal in the human embryo, while they differentiate into gills in fish.
The part of the experiment in which the experimental factor has been removed is referred to as <span>the independent variable. </span>The dependent variable<span> is the element which is being measured in an experiment or evaluated in a mathematical equation.</span>
The primary hormones involved in the functioning of the male reproductive system are follicle stimulating hormone (FSH),Luteinizing hormone (LH) and Testosterone.
Hope this helps.
