2. What are Adaptations? Adaptations are features of an organism that help them survive. Adaptations are features of an organism that help them survive. Behavioral adaptations are how an individual or group acts to survive- things such as hibernating and living in large groups.

8. How do adaptations relate to The Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection Natural selection is the process in which organisms that are best fit for their environment survive in higher number and create more offspring. Natural selection is the process in which organisms that are best fit for their environment survive in higher number and create more offspring. At the same time, organisms that are not well suited will not survive or reproduce at such high rates. These organisms tend to be eliminated from the ecosystem.

Organisms evolve when adaptations that are best for the ecosystem get passed on to more offspring.
