An
organism's behavior evolves through adaptation to its environment.
How a species moves, obtains food, reproduces, and responds
to danger are based in the species' evolutionary history. (5-8)
- Biological
evolution accounts for the diversity of species through gradual
processes over many generations. Species acquire many of their
unique characteristics through biological adaptation, which involves
the selection of naturally occurring variations in populations.
Biological adaptations include changes in structures, behaviors,
or physiology that enhance survival and reproductive success in
a particular environment. (5-8)
