Question

17. What is biological adaptation and how is it relevant to life as we know it today?

Answer 1

Adaptation is when animals inherit certain phenotypes which are coded for by genotypes. A species will have a mutation causing a change in the base sequence. this will lead to a different allele giving a different characteristic which will help them survive. the offspring will inherit this allele hence it'll be passed down each generation.

Answer 2

Biological adaptation is a concept that involves the action produced by an organisms biological traits and its response to the organisms in the surrounding environment, it is an important trait that is essential today because of the change in climatic conditions and environment day to day is drastic.

Hence an organism with rapid environmental adaptation would be only able to survive. As the saying of Darwin survival of the fittest says the organism that can rapidly adapt to the growing environmental skills will survive.
