Animals or plants that are
poorly adapted to their environment are less likely to survive and reproduce, meaning their genes are less likely to be passed to the next generation.
But he adds that questions remains unresolved, such as how sex can be an advantage to
groups adapting to environments that include pressures like competition and predators.
Young children are resilient and
often adapt to their environment in such a way that the dysfunctional family environment becomes functional to them and ensures their survival.
Cognitive processes such as learning, memory, and problem - solving are critically important for animals to
adapt to the environments in which they are kept.
Similar to all species, contemporary humans are genetically
adapted to the environment of their ancestors — that is, to the environment that their ancestors survived in and that consequently conditioned their genetic makeup (1 — 3).
This approach was called processual archeology in some circles because it focused on the processes by which
people adapted to their environment — what crops they planted, say, and how many calories they extracted from them.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University]-- Researchers from Brown University have developed a new method for sifting through genomic data in search of genetic variants that have helped
populations adapt to their environments.
«That great strength can be a weakness if you're
not adapting to the environment that you're in,» says Jonathan Wellum, who worked side by side with Lee - Chin at AIC for almost 20 years.
Not only can you see how their structure changes, but you can at the same time see how they react to specific stimuli and perhaps how their reaction changes over weeks when the
animal adapts to its environment.
She says they can use a plant - inspired robot for environmental monitoring, space applications or rescue under debris, «because it can
adapt to the environment like a natural system.
Hypersensitivity is not something that goes away on its own so it is important to access professional help in order to help your
child adapt to their environment.
Although the skills we learn in grad school are not uniquely suited to academe, recognizing and
adapting them to environments other than university classrooms is too often regarded as the road less taken.
Just as natural selection works on living populations to ensure that the organisms best
adapted to their environment survive and reproduce, genetic algorithms winnow out the «unfit» solutions and refine the ones that best match performance requirements.
