1. The right answer is response.

Response (or adaptation) can be defined in a general way as the functional adjustment of the living being in the middle, and, in particular, as the appropriation of the organ to its function.

Adaptation is the bringing together of a living organism with the external conditions. It perfects its organs, makes them more apt to the role they seem to play in the life of the individual. It puts the whole organism in coherence with the environment.

2. The right answer is heredity.

Heredity is the transmission, within a living species or a cell line, of characteristics from one generation to the next. The mechanisms of heredity are at the heart of the theory of evolution because they allow the accumulation of variations over generations that leads to the appearance of new species.

3. the right answer is B.

Deforestation is the phenomenon of regression of forested areas. It results from deforestation actions, linked to the extension of urbanization.

The destruction of forests leads to the disappearance of natural habitats for flora and fauna. The animal and plant species concerned are weakened, or may disappear if the available resources are no longer sufficient.

a "theory" a suggestion that is not 100 % accurate, or a figure. some people say its a theory because they of all the passed theory's about one subject. it depends sometimes theory might be accurate and sometimes they are.

it's diluted or concentrated

in a diluted solution, you can add a lot more solute but in concentrated only a little more can be added
