What is the process by which cells adapt to changes in their environment?

  1. Evolution

  2. Natural selection

  3. Gene flow

  4. Adaptation

The correct answer is: Adaptation

Cells do not undergo evolution or natural selection, as these processes occur over a longer period of time rather than adaptation which can occur in a shorter amount of time. Gene flow refers to the transfer of genetic material between different populations, which is not the process by which individual cells adapt to changes in their environment. Therefore, the most accurate choice is D, adaptation, as it directly addresses the process of cells adapting to changes in their environment.
