Bird Beak Variations of the Galapagos Islands in which Different shapes and sizes of bird beaks adapted to their feeding habits and environment, illustrates what type of method of selection?

• Artificial selection

• Natural selection

• Sexual selection

• Directional selection

Zebra Stripes camouflage in the Savannah grassland is what type of adaptation?

• Behavioral adaptation

• Physiological adaptation

• An example of physical adaptation

• Genetic adaptation

Structural features of an organism's body that enhance its survival such as: wings of a eagle, teeth of a beaver, fins on a fish are what type of adaptation?

• Behavioral Adaptations

• Physical Adaptations

• Physiological Adaptations

• Environmental Adaptations

What type of action happened in naturally in which Peppered Moths adapted to the changes of color of the trees from the industrial revolution.

• An example of artificial selection where moths were bred for specific traits.

• An example of natural selection where moths changed color due to industrial pollution, demonstrating survival from adapting to their environment.

• A case of genetic drift where moths randomly changed color without environmental influence.

• A demonstration of mutation where moths developed new colors due to genetic changes.

Camouflage in Chameleons

• A physical adaptation that allows chameleons to change their skin color to blend into their surroundings for protection and hunting.

• A behavioral trait that enables chameleons to run faster from predators.

• A social behavior that helps chameleons communicate with each other.

• A dietary adaptation that allows chameleons to eat a wider variety of insects.

An Electric Eel can generate electric charges to stun prey or defend against predators is what type of adaptation?

• Example of physiological adaptation

• Example of behavioral adaptation

• Example of structural adaptation

• Example of environmental adaptation

What type of adaptation produces responses to external stimuli in order to help an organism to be able to survive. Such as secreting toxic sweat (blue poison dart frog) , spraying a chemical to produce a horrible smell (skunk), producing ink (octopus), producing venom in a tail (scorpion).

• Physiological Adaptations

• Behavioral Adaptations

• Morphological Adaptations

• Genetic Adaptations
