An adaptation is a trait which increases the relative fitness of an individual. The fitness of an individual has 3 components: 1. Probability of survival to reproductive age. 2. Probability of attracting a mate. 3. Average number of offspring. Any trait which increases the fitness of an individual by positively impacting one of these three aspects is considered an adaptation.

There are 2 types of adaptation: physical and behavioral. These are self-explanatory. Physical adaptations could include things like adaptations to morphology or physiology of an organism. Behavioral adaptations are adaptations to, well . . . behavior :)

Why does the United States experience winter during the months of November through early March
Ghella [55]

The United States are entirely located in the Northern Hemisphere. It is bordering Canada on the north, and the air masses that form over it have big influence on the climate of the United States. Most of the United States falls under the influence of the air masses coming from the north, with only the southern parts of the east and west coastlines not being heavily affected. The air masses that form over Canada are cold continental air masses. They move towards south, thus toward the United States in November, quickly pushing the warmer air masses, and replacing them, bringing in cold weather conditions, which last until March.

HELP PLEASE
gregori [183]
Solar eclipses result from the Moon blocking the Sun relative to the Earth; thus Earth, Moon and Sun all lie on a line. Lunar eclipses work the same way in a different order: Moon, Earth and Sun all on a line. In this case the Earth's shadow hides the Moon from view.

\begin{array}{lll}&\underline {\text {Prokaryotic}}& \underline {\text {Eukaryotic}}\\ \\ \text {Nuclear \ membrane \ and \ nucleus} & \text {No \ true \ nucleus \ or}    & \text {Has \ a \ true \ nucleus} \\& \text {nuclear \  membrane} & \text {nucleoli \ and \ nuclear \ membrane}\\\\ \text {Membrane \ bound \ cell \ organelle} & \text {None &Present} \\\\ \text {Chromosome \ number \ and \ shape} & \text {One} & \text {Several, more \ than \ one} \end{array}

Explanation:

Prokaryotic cells

The plasma membranes surround prokaryotic cells, however, within their cytoplasm, there are no organelles bound to the membrane and there is no nucleus in the prokaryotic cell which differentiates it from the eukaryotic cells

Eukaryotic cells

Eukaryotic cells also have plasma membranes, ribosomes and cytoplasm. Eukaryotic cells also have membrane-bound nucleus, membrane bound organelles, such as chloroplast, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus which together differentiates it from a prokaryotic cell
