Question

Modification and adjustment of an organism to local environment is called_________

• A. introduction
• B. selection
• C. acclimatisation
• D. quarantine

Answer 1

The correct option is C acclimatisation

For improvement of crop plants, new varieties are introduced, either form different locality or from wild. Acclimatization follows the introduction and both processes go side by side. Acclimatization is the adaptation or adjustment of an individual plant or a population of plants under the changed climate for a number of generations: Thus, it is a sort of natural selection operating into the introduced plant material.
