Adaptations leading to a population becoming better adapted include behavioral adaptations (like possums playing dead), physiological adaptations (like hibernation to conserve energy), and anatomical adaptations (like the thick blubber layer in whales).
Adaptações que levam uma população a tornar-se melhor adaptada incluem adaptações comportamentais (como possums fingir de mortos), fisiológicas (como hibernação para conservar energia) e anatômicas (como a espessa camada de gordura nas baleias).
| Front | What are adaptations that leads to a population becoming better adapted |
|---|---|
| Back | Behavioural adaptations- Ways in which an organism acts to increase its chances of survival and reproduction. E.G Possums play dead to escape attacks Physiological adaptations- Processes inside the body of an organism that increase chances of survival. e.g. hibernation, lowering the rate of metabolism to conserve energy Anatomical adaptations- Structural features of the body of an organism to increase its chances of survival. e.g whales having a thick layer of blubber |
