Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Question 14: Match the level of adaptation to the appropriate example.**
A. Cultural
B. Physiological / Acclimatization
C. Developmental
D. Genetic
- ______ a tan.
- ______ building a fire.
- ______ increasing chest size.
- ______ change in allele frequency.
**Explanation:**
This exercise asks students to identify different types of adaptations.
1. **Cultural** refers to changes in behavior or technology, like building a fire to adapt to cold environments.
2. **Physiological / Acclimatization** includes reversible changes in an organism’s body, such as developing a tan due to sun exposure.
3. **Developmental** pertains to changes during growth, such as increased chest size due to living at high altitude.
4. **Genetic** involves changes in the genetic makeup, like a change in allele frequency within a population over generations.
