Answer 1

Adaptabilities are the capabilities of organisms to evolute or make themeselves according to the environment.

From past millions of years fishes live in water because they are now used to it and they have evoluted their hands as fins to live in water also they develop gills to take dissolved oxygen to breathe.

Organisms live in different types of places due to evolution ,because of evolution the properties of animals change and they will start surviving in different environment and they get adopted to it

Fish developed gills and fins , lLizard lungs and legs in order to survive and move in their respective habitat.

Since Lizard is adapted to survive in land only, it does not have any gills. It cannot respire in water with lungs.So It will die due to lack of oxygen.
