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>

Answer:

Species is defined as the group of organisms which are able to interbreed to produce a viable and fertile offspring.

Thus, for the formation of a new species, that is, speciation the new species must not be able to interbreed with the original species.

The new species are formed by the accumulation of genetic mutations over the generations.

wel

The answer is ultrafiltration. This is helped by the hydrostatic pressure and blood pressure in afferent renal arteriole. Molecules such as water, glucose, urea, sodium chloride, amino acids pass through the semipermeable membrane of the dense capillary network of the glomerulus to form glomerular filtrate. Some of these molecules are later reabsorbed in the renal tubules.

Answer:

Contraction.

Explanation:

Muscle tissues are defined as they are elastic and extensible in nature. In other words it's also defined as they are able to stretched and returned to its original size and shapes. A unique feature of muscle tissue is they are able of contractile in nature. With the help of this contraction they are able to sliding myosin and actin filaments which are present in muscles tissues.

Basically muscle tissues are three types:

1) Skeletal muscle: They are strong and rapid in contraction.

2) Cardiac muscle: They are strong in contraction.

3) Smooth muscle tissues: They are slow and weak in contraction.
