Study Notes
Key facts about adaptation and evolution
- Evolution is a slow process; it takes many generations for significant changes to occur, in terms of physical characteristics, behaviors, and evolutionary adaptations
- During evolution, organisms must adapt to their environments to survive.
- Different animals and organisms adapt and evolve in different ways: some creatures adapt by utilizing mimicry to avoid predators, while others may evolve to better adapt to their surroundings.
- Evolution is a constant process; organisms are adapting and evolving in response to changing environmental pressures.
- Organisms need to adapt to changing environments to survive, which includes:
- Climate change
- Competition for resources
- New predators
- Change in the availability of food
- Adaptation occurs if an organism has a certain characteristic that gives it an advantage over other living things; these organisms are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing their advantageous trait onto their offspring.
- Ultimately, the organism with the best adaptations for an environment, will be the most likely to survive and pass on traits to offspring; over generations the population becomes stronger and more diverse.
