Answer:

The phenomenon where individuals of a species have differences in traits is called adaptation.

So, first option is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In evolutionary theory, adaptation is the biological mechanism by which organisms adapt to a new environment or to changes in their current environment. Although scientists discussed adaptation before the 1800s, it was not until then that Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace developed the theory of natural selection.

Wallace believed that the evolution of organisms was somehow related to the adaptation of organisms to changing environmental conditions. In developing the theory of evolution through natural selection, Wallace and Darwin went beyond simple adaptation to explain how organisms adapt and evolve. The idea behind natural selection is that traits that are passed on allow organisms to adapt to their environment better than other organisms of the same species. This allows for better survival and reproduction compared to other members of the species, leading to evolution.

Organisms can adapt to the environment in different ways. They can be bioadaptive, meaning they change the body's functions. An example of biological adaptation can be seen high up, for example, in the bodies of people living in Tibet. Tibetans thrive at altitudes where oxygen levels are up to 40 percent lower than at sea level. Breathing such thin air would make most people sick, but Tibetans' body chemistry has changed. Most people can survive at high altitudes for a short time because their bodies increase their levels of hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen in the blood. However, persistently high hemoglobin levels are dangerous, so elevated hemoglobin levels are not a good long-term solution for survival at high altitude. Tibetans appear to have developed genetic mutations that allowed them to use oxygen much more efficiently without the need for extra hemoglobin.
