Note: Your teacher will grade your responses to questions 24‒25 to ensure you receive proper credit for your answers. What circu
mstances would cause an organism to adapt? In your answer, be sure to explain the differences between both short- and long-term adaptations. Use an example to explain your answers.
Usually, adaption is triggered by the need to survive and reproduce. Short-term adaption is usually caused by a sudden change in circumstance which causes the need for behavior or tactics to change based on previous experience or knowledge. Long term adaption is different, this usually occurs naturally over the course of many decades in order for the species to have better chances of surviving in the changing environment that they are living in.
