What Do You Mean by Pre Adaptive?

Preadaptation. In some circumstances, the "pre-" in preadaptation can be interpreted as applying, for non-teleological reasons, prior to the adaptation itself, creating a meaning for the term that is distinct from exaptation.

What is pre adaptive mutation?

A pre-adaptive trait or mutation is that which occurs before selection would favor it but it becomes important when the conditions become favorable for this genotype.

What is an example of adaptive?

Adaptive radiations are best exemplified in closely related groups that have evolved in a relatively short time. A striking example is the radiation, beginning in the Paleogene Period (beginning 66 million years ago), of basal mammalian stock into forms adapted to running, leaping, climbing, swimming, and flying.
