How is adaptation related to biological fitness?
5 days ago · In biology, adaptation has three related meanings. Firstly, it is the dynamic evolutionary process of natural selection that fits organisms to their environment, enhancing their evolutionary fitness. Secondly, it is a state reached by the population during that process.
4 days ago · For example, in addition to the definition provided by Catley et al., , Hoekstra and Coyne (2007: 1005) define it as “adaptation within lineages,” Rieppel (2013: 163) defines it as “gradual transformation within a species lineage between two cladogenetic events,” and (Ochoterena et al., 2019: 771) define it as “character ...
1 day ago · In this explainer, we will learn how to recall different specialized cells, describe their adaptations, and relate these adaptations to their functions. When you imagine a cell, you probably picture something like Figure 1.

5 days ago · Stress, any environmental or physical pressure that elicits a response from an organism. In most cases, stress promotes survival, forcing organisms to adapt to changing environmental conditions. When an organism’s response to stress is inadequate or when the stress is too powerful, disease or death may result.

5 days ago · Phylogeny, the history of the evolution of a species or group, especially in reference to lines of descent and relationships among broad groups of organisms. Fundamental to phylogeny is the proposition, universally accepted in the scientific community, that plants or animals of different species.
5 days ago · Definition. Evolution, as related to genomics, refers to the process by which living organisms change over time through changes in the genome. Such evolutionary changes result from mutations that produce genomic variation, giving rise to individuals whose biological functions or physical traits are altered.
