What is Adaptation?

The video tutorial explores adaptation, a process where organisms adjust to their environment through changes in behavior, physiology, and structure. Adaptations result from evolution and can be structural, behavioral, or physiological. Examples include a bird's beak mutation, polar bear fur, and plant traits like waxy leaves. Behavioral adaptations like migration and hibernation help survival, while physiological traits like heat exchange systems aid in extreme conditions. The video concludes with a reflection on human adaptations.

Explain the concept of dormancy in plants and its adaptive significance.
