- How does anthropological data differ from biological data?arrow_forwardHow is variation different from adaptation? * Variations are physical or behavioral traits that make an organism better suited to its environment while adaptation comes from random mutations. no answer Variation is a difference within an individual organism from the rest of the population. An adaptation is a feature that helps an organism survive in its environment. Adaptation is a difference within an individual organism from the rest of the population. A variation is a feature that helps an organism survive in its environment. Variation is always caused by mutation while adaptation is a heritable trait. Which of the following BEST explains Darwin's observation on populations of various species that seemed well-suited to their environment? * Species had been introduced to particular areas by humans on purpose. no answer Species might be able to adapt to their surroundings over time.
