Study Notes
Biological Concepts
- Adaptation: the gradual process by which an organism becomes better suited to its environment.
- Trait: the characteristic or feature of an organism that is passed down from one generation to the next.
- Population: a group of individuals of the same species living in a particular area at the same time.
- Migration: the seasonal movement of animals from one region to another.
Organism's Environment and Body
- Adaptation (again, as it's related to the environment): the process by which an organism becomes better suited to its environment over time.
- Organism's Body Structure and Function: the overall structure and functioning of an organism's body.
Organism's Adjustments and Suitability
- Acclimation: the process by which an organism adjusts its behavior, physiology, or structure to become better suited to its environment.
- Adaptation (again, as it's related to suitability): the characteristic that makes an organism well-suited to its environment and is passed down from one generation to the next.
Collectives and Groups
- Population: the collective term for all individuals of the same species living in a particular area at the same time.
