Question
which description is not an example of an adaptation?
o an individual choosing to put on a coat to stay warm
o the white fur of polar bears
o the secretions made by clown fish to protect themselves from sea anemones
Adaptation refers to a trait that has evolved through natural selection in a population. The white fur of polar bears is an evolutionary adaptation for camouflage in their snowy environment. The secretions of clownfish to protect themselves from sea anemones is also an evolutionary adaptation. However, an individual choosing to put on a coat is a learned or behavioral choice made by an individual in the short - term and is not an evolutionary adaptation passed down through generations.
