Adaptations vs Acclimatization

Adaptations involve genetic changes, while acclimatization involves environmental changes.

Adaptations occur over long periods, while acclimatization happens in response to short-term changes. (correct)

Adaptations focus on phenotypic changes, while acclimatization focuses on genotypic changes.

Adaptations increase fitness, while acclimatization decreases fitness.

Decrease fitness of a population

Increase reproductive rate but not fitness of a population

Increase fitness of a population (correct)

Have no impact on the fitness of a population

Trade-offs are compromises that do not affect the fitness of a population.

Trade-offs are inescapable compromises between traits that cannot be optimized simultaneously. (correct)

Trade-offs involve optimizing all traits simultaneously.

Trade-offs are traits that always work together perfectly.
