This can happen in two main ways:
* Evolutionary Adaptation: This refers to changes in the genetic makeup of a population over generations. Individuals with traits better suited to the environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing those traits on to their offspring. This leads to gradual changes in the species as a whole.
* Physiological Adaptation: This refers to changes an individual organism makes within its lifetime in response to environmental changes. These changes are often temporary and reversible, such as acclimatization to different temperatures or altitudes.
Both types of adaptation are crucial for organisms to survive and thrive in their environments.
