Answer:

It's evoultion or the cause of it. Adaptations are how well animals or plant thrive in a new enviorment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Natural selection is a mechanism and(or)cause of evolution. Adaptations are physical or behavioral traits that makes it easier for an organism to to sustain themselves or thrive in new enviornments. Heritable variation comes from random mutations.

natural selection is when a certain species of plant or animal adapt to its habitat to help it survive long enough to reproduce. When a living thing adapts to its habitat, it makes it more likely that it will survive longer, and have an easier life out in the wil or wherever it’s living.
