What is adaptation in biology?

[BiancaBpg]

Can someone explain what adaptation means in simple terms? How do living things adapt to their environment? Thanks!

Biological adaptation is the mechanism through which living things adapt to the environment in order to enhance survival and reproduction. It is a process that takes place between generations whereby there are changes in physical appearance, behavior or physiology. These adaptations assist the species to overcome challenges posed by the environment that will enable them to live and reproduce in their particular habitat.

In biology, adaptation is a process by which organisms develop traits that help them survive and reproduce better in their environment.

In biology, adaptation is a trait or change that helps an organism survive and reproduce in its environment. It can be physical, behavioral, or physiological and develops over generations through natural selection.

In biology, adaptation is a process through which organisms evolve to live and reproduce better in a particular environment. These characteristics are either structural, behavioral or physiological. Adaptation is a process that is achieved through natural selection through generations and allows species to adapt more efficiently to the level of difficulty such as predators, climate or availability of resources.
