Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adaptations are the physical or behavioural changes that help an organism to survive in its environment. Biologically based mechanisms may refer to the underlying processes that enable adaptations, but do not fully encompass the idea of environmental challenges leading to survival. Evolutionary noise refers to the random fluctuations in genetic traits that do not necessarily promote survival. Natural selectors are the factors in the environment that cause certain traits to be selected for or against, but they do not encompass the actual changes that occur in the organism itself.
