Adaptation is a phenomenon that is about adjusting certain features to environmental conditions. Ie. birds are adapted to flight as they possess wings, very efficient lungs etc. or tropical plants are adapted to high temperature and humidity as they modified their photosynthesis process. but if some creature is adapted to the specific habitat or conditions, it is hard for it to manage in another habitat/different conditions. ie. birds are fast in the air but on the ground they are quite weak and prone to predators' attacks.

True or false? in host-versus-graft rejection, the recipient recognizes the donor tissue as foreign and rejects the transplant;
snow_tiger [21]
The statements above are true;
In a host-versus-graft rejection the recipient's immune system recognizes the donor's tissue as foreign and rejects the transplant. On the other hand, in a graft-versus-host rejection, the donor tissue recognizes the recipient's tissue as foreign and the transplant rejects the recipient, causing destruction of the recipient's tissue and possibly death. Its important also to note that there are two types of rejection, the acute rejection, where the rejection of transplanted tissue that occurs several weeks after transplant. it is delayed hypersensitivity reaction, and the chronic rejection is a rejection of transplanted tissue that can occur at a late time. Immune complexes form in the arteries supplying the graft, choking off the blood supply and the tissue is rejected.
