adaptation


Значение термина adaptation в knolik


adaptation - Adaptation (Lat. ad, to; aptare, to fit)
adaptation - Biological process by which any living organism adjusts itself or is modified to suit the conditions of its existence. In order to survive it must achieve a more or less close adaptation to its surroundings; an obvious example is the dragon-fly whose larva is fitted for life in water while in the insect form its structure is adapted for life on land. Adaptations may be inherent in the germ cell, having probably been fixed by natural selection and transmitted by heredity. In animal evolution certain characteristics may tend to be developed or modified. If they are favourable to the survival of the species, such variations or mutations constitute a process of adaptation. See Evolution.
