What is behavioral adaptation?

• Physical features of an organism that enable it to survive in its environment

• A change in the DNA sequence of an organism

• A behavior that an animal has developed over time in order to increase its chances of survival

• The process through which populations of living organisms adapt and change

What is a mutation?

What is variation in terms of species or groups of organisms?

• The process of developing by gradual changes

• The dying out or disappearance of a species from Earth

• Any difference between the individuals in a species or groups of organisms of any species
