Is a adaption a behavior or a genetic characteristic

An adaptation occurs when a species is set through a new constraint. This can be change in climate, defense mechanisms, food source, etc. Which will have to occur before an adaptation is made. For an example: in North America the climate slightly swifted. This meant smaller mammals such as rabbits would need to have a thicker coat of fur or shelter. Let's say all the thin furred rabbits died and all that remained were the thick furred rabbits. Over a span of time the rabbits have adapted through the climate. Meaning most of the population is thick furred through their DNA. Conclusively, it's a genetic characteristic that can happen very rapidly or slowly.

I hope this solved your question!

It is to apply genomic knowledge effectively in

drug discovery, mechanistic connectivities

between genetic variation and disease

processes need to be established via

systems biology approaches. Humans have

hundreds of functionally specialized cell

types that interact differentially with

environmental factors to influence disease

development and to modulate the effects of

drugs. Metabonomics can provide a means

of modelling these interactions, but the

relationships between ‘endogenous’

metabolic processes and

‘xenobiotic’ metabolism

are poorly understood, especially with

respect to environmental factors. We

present an overview of ‘global’ mammalian

metabolic conversions that should be

accounted for in human systems biology

models and propose a new probabilistic. Approach to help understand gene–disease relationships and vexed

issues of idiosyncratic drug toxicit etc.

Thus this is the required answer.
