Question

Which of the following is the best example of an adaptation that helps

organisms survive in their environment? *
Green coloring in lizards living on gray rocks
a thick coat of fur on animals that live in the desert
a big root system in desert plants
thin, delicate leaves on plants in a cold climate

Answer 1

a green coloring in lizards on gray rocks

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

3. a big root system in desert plants

Step-by-step explanation:

You can work this out by process of elimination

1. is bad, the green colouring against grey rocks makes lizards easier to be seen by predators, reducing their chances of survival

2. is also bad, a thick coat of fur can cause overheating during the day in the desert

4. thin leaves that are delicate will not be able to withstand cold temperatures, also a small surface area will not provide good conditions for photosynthesis

therefore 3. is the best adaption. a big root system allows a higher surface area and larger 'covered' area for plant roots to absorb more water, increasing their survival chances.
