Many plants, such as the potato plant, avoid insect predation by producing highly toxic sap. However, the potato bug, unlike mos
t insects, has adapted to the toxins and can still eat the potato plant. In turn, over a long period of time, potatoes are likely to develop more chemical defenses against the potato bugs. This type of consistent adaptation between two species is known as
A. co-evolution.
B. commensalism.
C. a reliazed niche.
D. a fundamental niche.

Commensalism is the relationship that exists between both potato plant and potato bug
Explanation:
Commensalism entails relationship between two organisms where one gains and the other does not either gain or lose. The analogy above shows that the insect potato bug gains from the plant but the potato plant does not gain nor lose as a result of this
House sparrows in the northern part of North America are larger than those found in the southern regions. The possible mechanism of microevolution is more likely to be responsible for this is natural selection. The answer would be letter B.
