Adaptations: Structure and Behavior Quiz

What is an adaptation?

• A characteristic or behavior that harms an organism in its environment.

• A characteristic or behavior that is only present in extinct species.

• A characteristic or behavior that helps an organism survive and reproduce in its environment.

• A characteristic or behavior that has no effect on an organism's survival and reproduction.

Which of the following is an example of a structural adaptation?

• The ability to change color in chameleons

• The long neck of a giraffe

• The ability to fly in birds

• The ability to produce venom in snakes

How do structural adaptations help organisms survive?

• They hinder the organism's ability to survive in their environment.

• They are only beneficial for certain organisms in specific environments.

• They have no impact on the organism's ability to survive.

• They provide physical features or characteristics that enhance their ability to survive in their environment.

Which of the following is an example of a behavioral adaptation?

• Camouflage

• Bird migration

• Hibernation

• Photosynthesis

How do behavioral adaptations help organisms survive?

• By hindering organisms' ability to respond to changes in their environment, find food, avoid predators, and reproduce.

• By preventing organisms from responding to changes in their environment, finding food, avoiding predators, and reproducing.

• By allowing organisms to respond to changes in their environment, find food, avoid predators, and reproduce.

• By causing organisms to become more vulnerable to changes in their environment, find food, avoid predators, and reproduce.

Which of the following is NOT an example of an adaptation?

• A tree

• A rock

• A flower

• A bird

How do adaptations affect the probability of survival?

• Adaptations are unrelated to the probability of survival.

• Adaptations decrease the probability of survival.

• Adaptations have no effect on the probability of survival.

• Adaptations increase the probability of survival.

How do adaptations affect the probability of reproductive success?

• Adaptations have no effect on the probability of reproductive success.

• Adaptations increase the probability of reproductive success.

• Adaptations only affect the physical appearance of an organism, not its reproductive success.

• Adaptations decrease the probability of reproductive success.

Why are adaptations important for organisms?

• To decrease the chances of survival for organisms.

• To make organisms more vulnerable to their environments.

• To hinder the growth and development of organisms.

• To survive and thrive in their specific environments.

What is the primary purpose of camouflage in animals?

• To make them more visible to predators

• To help them attract mates

• To assist them in hunting prey

• To help them blend into their environment and avoid predators
