[Evolution of the interaction fo living systems with the environment]

Basic principles of interaction of living systems with environmental factors and different phases of the organic evolution are presented. The general strategy of adaptation of living systems on various levels of organization to changes in the environment is considered. It is shown that in the course of evolutionary adaptation the living systems not only altered their morphophysiological status but also actively adjusted the environment modifying its physical/chemical parameters. Special attention is given to the hereditary and external factors in of structural and functional evolution living organisms. Environmental factors are shown to gain significance in structural/functional and behavioral formation of living organisms as the organic world has evolved.
