Concept explainers

Evolutionary adaptations

Evolutionary adaptation is the process through which organisms adapt or adjust to their surroundings to increase the chances of survival, mating, and reproduction. An organism's behavior, physiology, and structure are adjusted or changed to make it more suited to its environment.

Question

Identify five (5) adaptive features of insects and arachnids, and explain how this feature is beneficial for their great success in evolutionary development.

Characteristic features adapted for survival	How?
Example: Stingers (such as in scorpions)	Stings of scorpions are painful, can be poisonous, and so can ward off predators.

The similarities suggest that vertebrates passthrough each of the adult stages of their evoluntionary history as they develop. C. The similarities suggest that vertebrates can undergo genetic changes during development that lead to the evolution of new species D. The similarities suggest that chickens and humans descend from ancestors with genes that code for the development of tails and gill slits
