Step-by-step explanation:

Hearing a lot the word "adaptation" when it comes to movies following a plot line of a book, for example, I would say "adaptation" is a noun and "adapting" is a verb

Following the same logic, probably B.An adaptation can be passed on to the next generation through genes, while "adapting" is a process of aquiring new skills ( like adopting a learned behaviour till it seems geneticaly borrowed) by learning new behaviours

Answer:

An adaptation can be passed on to the future generations through genes. Adapting is the process through which an organism learns a new behavior.

Step-by-step explanation:

An adaptation is a genetic mutation occurring through natural selection so a species develop characteristics that help them survive. This changes most often are reflected in physical changes in the species. Adapting means to learn a new behavior in order to more successfully face a situation. It occurs not through genetic mutation but by learning and it's not passed through genes.
