adaptation
|
behavioural
adaptations
|
physiological adaptation
|
mutations
|
An adaptation is the adjustment of
organisms to their environment in order to improve their chances of survival.
Adaptations could be: physical changes, behavioural
changes, or physiological adaptations.
|
Behavioural adaptation
are the actions animals take to survive in their environments. Some types of
behavioural adaptation are: hibernation, migration, and instincts. For
example; Birds fly south in the winter to find more food.
|
Physiological
adaptation is an internal body process that helps an
organism to survive/ reproduce. For example, adult male penguins can go
without food for around 100 days. This allows them to survive during winter
when no food is available.
|
A mutation
is a change or mistake in a living thing’s DNA. DNA is a chain of chemical units found in each
cell of a living thing. The chemical units are arranged in a particular
sequence, or order. This sequence forms a kind of code, called a genetic code. It tells cells what to do. If the chain
gets out of order, breaks, or changes in some other way, a mutation results.
|
When plants grow towards the light, this is an excellent
example of a physiological adaptation
because it occurs inside the plant as a result of chemical reactions.
|
A behavioural
adaptation of adult penguins is that they huddle together during winter. This
helps them to avoid heat loss and survive until spring.
|
A physiological adaptation of the Giant African
Millipede is that it makes a toxin that it releases through its skin. The
toxin keeps the millipede from being a tasty treat for predators.
|
Mutations can occur as the result of exposure
to environmental factors such as smoking, sunlight and radiation.
|
Choices: Adaptation occurs because the better
adapted animals are the most likely to survive, and to reproduce
successfully. What would you consider to be a good example of adaptation:
your dog doing tricks or your dog successfully following a scent?
Context: Can
you tell us one adaptation that an animal has made?
|
Choices: What
would be a good example of behavioural adaptation: the way lions hunt
in a group or the
way tyrannosaurus lived? Why?
Context: Choose
an animal and tell us a behavioural adaptation of that animal.
|
Choices: What
do you find more interesting: the physiological adaptation of snakes to make
venom or the way plants in the desert have evolved to store water? Why?
Context: Tell
us a physiological adaptation you have learnt about an animal.
|
Choices: Do
you think being in the sun without sun protection is ok? Why or why not?
Context:
Can you tell us about a mutation that a bird may be born with?
