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>
"A gene pool consists of all genes, including all the different alleles that are present in a population. Number of times an allele occurs in a gene pool compared with the number of times other alleles occur. In genetic terms, evolution is any change in the relative frequency of alleles in a population."

The importance of the International System of Measurement is important because it provides the same values for measurements such as length, weight, and time no matter where in the world the measurement is performed.
