Adaptation
Adaptation is the structural, physiological (biochemical), behavioural and reproductive characteristics enable organisms to obtain their requirements and increase the chance of survival of the individual or the species.
Structural: the physical features of an organism such as their shape, body, or any other structure in relation to the body which help it to survive in their environment
Behavioural: an action that organisms do to survive in a particular environment, such as the way they feed, breed or
move
Physiological: the ongoing process by which internal body functions are regulated and adjusted to maintain homeostasis in the internal environment
