Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion
emphasized how plastic and adaptable plants are in their environment. Write an essay touching on this concept.
The first paragraph should be broad and discuss why plants must be more adaptable to their environment compared to other organisms, such as animals. Discuss if adaptation is or is not genetically determined and/or heritable.
The second paragraph should provide a specific examples of how plants have adapted to stress. This portion needs to be in depth, and discuss both an abiotic and biotic stress.

Some farmers, especially those who grow produce at a smaller scale, use pesticides sparingly. For example, fruit trees are susceptible to disease in northeastern regions, especially at the blossom stage. An apple or peach grower may spray their fruit trees with a fungicide once in the spring to ensure that the fruit sets, but use no further chemicals for the rest of the season. For many large row crop farmers, on the other hand, regular pesticide use is as much a part of farming as planting seeds. Spraying Roundup on a field of corn genetically engineered to withstand the chemical kills! the weeds without affecting the corn.
