Answer:

The correct answer is- Resistance

Explanation:

The ability of any organism in a population to tolerate a chemical like insecticide, pesticide or antibiotic which is designed to kill it or slow its reproduction is called resistance.

For example, the antibiotic resistance is seen in some bacteria like MRSA(Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus). They gain this resistance because they have some variant traits in their genome which provide them resistance against these chemicals.  

These individual are selected through natural selection when the environmental condition changes and become adverse. So the correct answer is resistance.

inessss [21]

Answer:

negative, inhibition

Explanation:

The experiment in the illustration shows that early succession plants have a <u>negative </u>effect on the late succession plants, and the observation is most consistent with the <u>inhibition</u> model of succession.

<em>That the late succession plant thrives better in the absence of the early succession plants means that the early succession plant has been impacting the growth of the late succession plant negatively. This is consistent with the inhibition model of succession.</em>

There are 3 different models of succession. These include;

  1. Facilitation model in which colonists modify the environment to favor the growth of later successional species.
  2. Tolerance model in which early colonists' modification of the environment has no positive or negative impact on the growth of later successional species.
  3. Inhibition model in which early colonists modify the environment to inhibit the growth of later successional species.
