Q

Where do adaptations come from

a) The individual organism decides to adapt

b) Mutations that give an organism an advantage in its environment

A

Answer: B

Adaptations occur due to evolutionary factors. Evolution is the biological change a species undergoes over a very long time frame. The mutation of genes is the main reason why adaptation happens. Mutation can be highly beneficial for animals or plants as it gives them the edge of survival over other unmutated animals or plants of the same species.
