Adaptations arise from environmental pressures from "summary" of The Biology Book by DK
Adaptations in living organisms are a result of the constant interaction between the organism and its environment. These adaptations are shaped by the environmental pressures that the organism faces. As the environment changes, organisms must adapt in order to survive and reproduce. One of the key driving forces of evolution is natural selection, which occurs when organisms with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and pass on those traits to future generations. These advantageous traits are the result of adaptations that have arisen in response to specific environmental pressures. For example, the thick fur of polar bears helps them survive in cold Arctic c...Similar Posts
