Solution

Adaptation Example
Allen's rule Mammals from colder climates generally have shorter ears and limbs (extremities) to minimize heat loss. Example: Polar seal
Physiological adaptation Kangaroo rat is capable of meeting all of its water requirements through its internal fat oxidation where water is released as a by-product. It can also concentrate its urine so that a minimal volume of water is used to remove excretory products. Thus, it is an example of physiological adaptation.
Behavioural adaptation Desert lizards lack the physiological ability to cope with extreme temperatures but manage the body temperature by behavioural means.
Biochemical adaptation A large variety of marine invertebrates and fishes are adapted biochemically to survive great depths in the ocean where the pressure (called crushing pressure) could be >100 times the normal atmospheric pressure.
