• Living things are adapted to the habitat they live in. This is because they have special features that help them to survive. The development of these special features is the result of evolution due to gene mutation. These mutations aid in survival and reproduction and pass on from one generation to the other.

Structural Adaptations

• These involve the physical features of an organism that help them to survive in the environment including the different types of terrestrial habitat. The physical changes are related to the changes in the physical environment. For eg., camouflage, which is the protective colouration that helps an organism to blend in its environment. This protects them from predators and increases their chances of survival.
