Biological Adaptations and Survival

The video from Moomoomath and Science introduces the concept of adaptation in biology. It defines adaptation as an inherited trait that evolves over generations, helping a species become better suited to its environment and survive. An example given is the bright coloration in animals as a warning sign. The video concludes with a prompt to subscribe for daily math and science content.

What is an adaptation in biological terms?

• A learned behavior over a lifetime

• A random mutation with no effect

• An inherited trait that enhances survival

• A temporary change in an organism

How do adaptations benefit a species?

• They make the species less visible to predators

• They allow the species to change its diet

• They enable the species to migrate to new areas

• They improve the species' ability to survive in its environment

What role do successive generations play in adaptation?

• They introduce new species

• They help develop adaptations over time

• They eliminate all previous adaptations

• They cause species to become extinct

Which of the following is an example of an adaptation?

• A bird learning to sing

• A plant growing towards light

• A fish swimming upstream

• Bright colors and warning coloration

What is the purpose of the bright colors and warning coloration in species?

• To warn predators of danger

• To blend into the environment

• To regulate body temperature

• To attract mates
