Adaptation is the characteristic of living organisms that develop over a period of time. It enables the organism to survive and reproduce within the limits of a particular environment. Basically there are two types of adaptations first one is short term adaptation and another one is long term adaptation. In short term adaptation, there are temporary changes produced in response to specific environment and are meant for smooth adjustment of the organism to unfavorable conditions. These adaptations disappear after the removal of stress conditions.
