Question

Genetic changes over many generations of a population of organisms lead to biological diversity. How do adaptations relate to these changes?
A.
Adaptations are traits resulting from these changes that make it harder for the organisms to survive in their environment.
B.
Adaptations are traits resulting from these changes that cause all of the organisms to die suddenly.
C.
Adaptations are traits resulting from these changes that better help the organisms to survive in their environment.
D.
Adaptations are traits resulting from these changes that have no effect on how the organisms survive in their

Answer 1

Answer:

C.  Adaptations are traits resulting from these changes that better help the organisms to survive in their environment.

Explanation:

Adaptation is any change or adjustment in structure of organisms' body parts or their habit/life style to make them better fitted in their environment for their survival and multiplicity i.e. increasing their population through reproduction. It is an evolutionary process which occurs through natural selection.

For example ducks' webbed feet allow them to swim faster in the water. The blending of moths with their environment is an example of camouflage adaptation.
