Question

Why is adaptation necessary? what happens to those animals who do not adapt to the environment?

Answer 1

Adaptation:

Adaptation is the process through which an organism adjusts to a novel environment in order to survive.

The necessity of adaptation:

1. Animals can defend themselves against predators or harsh weather by adapting.
2. To protect themselves from predators, several animals have developed camouflage.
3. Predators find it challenging to locate them in search of food as a result.
4. Charles Darwin's theory of adaptation states that individuals with features that allow them to adjust to their circumstances will allow them to survive and have much more offspring, which also will inherit those traits. Survival of the fittest is another term for this.

If the organism does not adapt to the environment, then:

1. They might need to relocate to a different area.
2. The organism or species may experience some repercussions if it is unable to adapt to the environment and refuses to leave.
3. The species can end up being threatened, extinct, or endangered.
