Answer 1

hitchhiker effect

it is an exaptation

Step-by-step explanation:

Adaptation is a property which occurs due to change in the environmental conditions of an organism. Some traits of organisms are not adaptation because sometimes the function of a trait changes due to evolution which we called exaptation. It also occurs due to hitchhiker effect, this effect occurs when the change occurs in the frequency of allele not due to natural selection but due to selective sweep with the nearby gene.
