Fauna - animals they inhabit.

In the Permian -Triassic, it was believed THREE (3) KINDS OF ADAPTATION

occurred. ➢ Is the changing or modifying of an

organism’s physical characteristics

Bryophytes-nonvascular plants such as its shape, color, body

Algae - are the producers under the sea covering, and internal organization.
Example: camouflage, chameleon,
turtles
2. BEHAVIORAL ADAPTATION
➢ It is a learned or inherited behavior
that helps an organism survive.
Example: migrate birds,
hibernation

3. PHYSIOLOGICAL
ADAPTATION
➢ Is an organism’s ability to regulate
its bodily functions such as
breathing and temperature.
