Adaptive evolution is a term that describes evolutionary changes that are tailored to a particular environment. By addressing a specific obstacle or opportunity offered by the environment, such adaptations promote survivability or reproduction. Natural selection is responsible for adaptive evolution.

In flowering plants, selfing, also known as self population, is the process of pollination. The stigma and anther of the same flower fuse together to generate a new offspring. It is the most prevalent pollination strategy among plants with hardly any genetic variation.

Within the kingdom Plantae, Angiosperm is the most extensive and most varied group. Angiosperms account for 80% of all currently known green plants. The ovule (egg) gets fertilized and develops into a seed in an enclosed hollow ovary in angiosperms, vascular seed plants.

Since there is no genetic variety in blooming plants, self-fertilization has drawbacks. It may also result in the weakening of a variety of species due to recurrent self-pollination, lowering the quality of progeny.
