Question

This is an example of:

  1. Physiological adaptation
  2. Behavioural adaptation
  3. Structural adaptation
  4. Selectional adaptation

hintHint:

An adaptation can be structural, meaning it is a physical part of the organism. An adaptation can also be behavioral, affecting the way an organism responds to its environment.

The correct answer is: Structural adaptation


    Their webbed feet, which have connections between their toe-like. Ducks have adapted to their water-based habitats by having webbed feet which help them travel through water most effectively. Ducks also have an oily coating on their feathers to make them waterproof, regulate temperature and keep them light as they are not weighed down by being waterlogged.

    ______________ allows an organism to survive better in its environment

    • Such changes occur in the organisms that helps them to survive better in the environment. This is called adaptation.
    • These changes occur at genetic level and pass on to the next generation.
    • These adaptations can be structural, behavioral or physiological. 
    • For example, most of the animals found in desert have a thick dermis layer on their body that assure minimum water loss.

    Animals migrate because of:

    • Animals migrate according to the season.
    • The conditions of the place in a season becomes unfavorable.
    • The animals can't survive or breed in such conditions, so they move to the other place. The distance of the travel can be around 25 miles.
    • They migrate because of high or very low temperature conditions or unavailability of food. 
    • Bar headed geese migrate from Himalaya to south Asia in winter season.
    • They travel 1000 miles. 
    • The condition of this place when becomes unfavorable they again move to the Himalayas.

    • Hibernation and aestivation are also types of behavioural adaptation.
    • During winters animals show hibernation.
    • They avoid normal activities like hunting or roaming.
    • Also they slower their metabolic rate, heart rate and breathing rate.
    • So that they can save their energy.
    • Most of the bears and snakes go into a deep sleep.
