19 de oct. de 2023 · Learn how organisms adapt to their environment and evolve over time. Explore examples of biological and behavioral adaptations, and the theories of natural selection and evolution.
v. t. e. In biology, adaptation has three related meanings. Firstly, it is the dynamic evolutionary process of natural selection that fits organisms to their environment, enhancing their evolutionary fitness. Secondly, it is a state reached by the population during that process.
Adaptations can take many forms: a behavior that allows better evasion of predators, a protein that functions better at body temperature, or an anatomical feature that allows the organism to access a valuable new resource — all of these might be adaptations.
Evolución 101. La adaptación. Las adaptaciones pueden tomar muchas formas: un comportamiento que permite evadirse mejor de los depredadores, una proteína que funciona mejor a la temperatura corporal o un rasgo anatómico que permite al organismo acceder a un nuevo recurso valioso — todo esto podrían ser adaptaciones.
