Question

Which of the following correctly explains the relationship between wheat and its early hearth of domestication?

A) Wheat was first domesticated in the foothills of the Himalayas because the tropical climate in the region is necessary to grow wheat.
Wheat was first domesticated in the Yellow River valley because vast floodplains are the best places to grow wheat.
Wheat was first domesticated in the Nile River valley because overharvesting of the wild form of wheat was causing a widespread
famine.
(D
Wheat was first domesticated in Mesoamerica because the wild wheat variety flourished in the highland climate.
Wheat was first domesticated in Mesopotamia because of a favorable climate and a great diversity of wild grains that led to
crossbreeding of seeds.

Answer 1

(D

Wheat was first domesticated in Mesoamerica because the wild wheat variety flourished in the highland climate.

Wheat was first domesticated in Mesopotamia because of a favorable climate and a great diversity of wild grains that led to

crossbreeding of seeds.

Step-by-step explanation:

It had a favourable climate with good hilly lands and grasslands. The conditions there were very mild and good enough to grow wheat (wheat needs a lot of sunshine).

Answer 2

Wheat was first domesticated in Mesopotamia because of a favorable climate and a great diversity of wild grains that led to crossbreeding of seeds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mesopotamia ( Western Asia )was the first place of domestication of wheat. The favourable climate of intense sunshine of old Western Asia-kuwait, Iraq,...) favours photosynthesis which ensure food production,

Besides the population of this region with wide grains, on hilly land, ensured cross pollination of these wide seeds grains with wheat varieties leading to hybridization, and selection by natural selection for domestication and eventual evolution.
