Adaptation has wide effect on the life of an organism for it is primarily a process rather than a physical part of a body. All adaptations help organisms to survive in their chosen environment.
The adaptive traits may be structural, behavioral and physiological. Structural adaptations are physical features of an organism such as shape, internal organization or body covering. Behavioral adaptations are the ability to learn. They are often inherited like instincts and the knowledge for searching food or mating. While physiological adaptations can allow the organism to perform special functions like for instance, secreting slime, making venom, temperature regulation and other aspect of homeostasis.
