Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3
Which of these is a behavioural adaptation?
- Having a long tail
- Migrating to warmer areas in winter
- Producing a strong poison
- Growing a thicker coat
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — Migrating to warmer areas in winter
Award 1 mark. A behavioural adaptation is something an organism does, and travelling to where conditions are better is an action. A long tail and a thicker coat are features of the body, and producing a poison is a chemical process carried out by the body rather than a behaviour.

WJEC GCSE Biology: Adaptation and Competition FAQ
Is Kramizo free for WJEC GCSE students preparing for Biology?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Adaptation and Competition practice with other Biology topics or even switch to a totally different WJEC subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Adaptation and Competition questions aligned to the official WJEC GCSE Biology syllabus?
Every question is written against the published WJEC GCSE Biology specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real WJEC paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from WJEC.
How is Adaptation and Competition typically tested on WJEC GCSE Biology papers?
Adaptation and Competition appears across multiple question types on real WJEC GCSE Biology papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
