2. Variations & Adaptations

3. Adaptations and Survival
VARIATION
Different traits within the species of a population
EX: Blood Types
ADAPTATION:
Help an organism survive and reproduce in a certain environment
EX: color/camouflage, mimicry, defense
frogs, butterfly, porcupine
WHY DO THEY OCCUR?
Camoflauge is genetice the genes for camoflauge were more prevalent therefore that species survived

8. Other Adaptations Hibernation Sharp talons Excellent vision
Thick leaves
(buffalo berry that help to reduce the water loss on hot summer days)

9. How do These Adaptations Develop?
They are a result of a gradual change over time
Variation  helps organism survive  becomes Adapatation
NOT ALL VARIATIONS BECOME ADAPATATIONS!
A variation that helps an organism is likely to be passed on from survivor to survivor and become an adaptation
