Please answer 4 for:

"Clownfish"

**Adaptation in Organisms**

Adaptation may be defined as the change in physical, physiological, morphological, or chemical characteristics in organisms. This change helps organisms to survive better in their environmental conditions and this change can be transferred to the next generation as well. 

The main adaptation of clown fish is the development of olfactory stimuli that helps to detect their particular host species in their environment.

This adaptation is also seen in their immune system, making them immune to anemone. The development of round caudal fins helps them to move in their environmental condition. Their camouflage adaptation helps them to protect themselves at night from their predators. The development of a skinny mucus helps them to show a symbiotic relationship with anemone as their host.
