Which of the following is NOT true of adaptation?

adaptations account for why organisms are suited to their way of life

adaptations account for why organisms can escape predators

natural selection causes adaptive traits to be increasingly represented in future generations

an adaptation evolves quickly, because it is necessary for survival

an adaptation takes many generations to evolve

The correct answer will be option an adaptation evolves quickly, because it is necessary for survival.

Explanation:

Adaptation is a trait or feature which has been acquired by the organism by the changes in physiology, structure and behaviour which are more suited to the environment.

Adaptation is a pre-requisite of natural selection and evolution which enables the organism to survive and reproduce. Adaptation or an organism is not an instant response but to become permanent in a population adapted trait must be passed on to the generations that involve gene level.

Thus, option an adaptation evolves quickly, because it is necessary for survival is the correct answer.
