Suggest a mechanism that would allow a plant to grow better if it had intermorph neighbors than if it had intramorph neighbors. Think about the degree of genetic similarity between the focal plant and its neighbors and make a link between genetic similarity and resource use.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Inter morph neighbors refers to the neighboring plant species that are genetically different from the focal plant species.

Due to genetic differences, focal species could increase its chances of getting the common resources by secretion of toxins. These toxins from focal plant could kill or adversely affect the inter-morph neighbor species while not harming the focal plant. In this way, the availability of shared resources can be increased to focal plant.
