physiology - answer☑️✔️..the study of how animals work
mechanisms - answer☑️✔️..reffering to components of living animals and their interactions
that enable animals to preform how they do.
natural selection - answer☑️✔️..the increase in frequency of genes that produce phenotypes
that raise the likelihood that animals will survive and reproduce.
adaptation - answer☑️✔️..physiological mechanism/trait that product of evolution by natural
selection
confromers - answer☑️✔️..allow internal conditions to change with external conditions (less
energy is used)
regulators - answer☑️✔️..maintain relatively constant internal conditions regardless of
external conditions
