- Poison or toxic compounds can be an adaptation for survival in both predators and prey. True False Parasitism is an example of a symbiotic relationship. True False Predation and herbivory are similar interactions (-/+) in that one organism in the interaction benefits and the other is harmed.

Lynx that are more successful hunters, are more likely to survive and reproduce, and thus pass on their traits to the next generation. Snowshoe hares that are faster or better at hiding are also more likely to pass on their successful traits From the above information , one can conclude that predator -prey interactions influence the process of A.) inbreeding B.) natural selection C.) artificial selection D.) parasitism 3.)

How might the abundance of the tobacco plant most likely be affected differently by the generalist herbivore and by the specialist herbivore? Tobacco Hornworm Gypsy Moth The gypsy moth may increase the abundance of tobacco by choosing to eat the tree saplings The gypsy moth larvae may decrease the abundance of the tobacco plant by eating the leaves of the tree saplings The tobacco hornworm may increase the abundance of tobacco by chasing gypsy moth larvae away from the plants.
