Answer 1

Answer:

a trait that gives an organism a reproductive advantage in the current environment

Explanation:

An adaptation is a trait that provides an advantage to the individual in which it is present by making the individual more adaptable to its environment and as the result, the individual survive to reproductive age and able to produce more offspring than less adapted individual of its population.
