Answer:

Sub-threshold

Explanation:

If the stimulus is too small to generate the action potential, it is considered as subthreshold stimulus. Subthreshold stimulus causes the opening of small number of sodium channel i.e. not enough to generate action potential because action potential is generated by complete reversal of membrane polarity. Slight depolarization is caused by subthreshold stimulus by the opening of inadequate number of sodium channel but its magnitude is not enough to reach the threshold voltage. Consequently the action potential is not generated.

The response produced by subthreshold stimulus is called as local response or local depolarization because it could not travel further. The minimum stimulus required to generate the action potential is call as threshold stimulus and stimulus greater than threshold stimulus is called as suprathreshold stimulus. It changes the frequency of generated action potential.

galben [10]

There’s less scarcity of food for the population is an advantage of a single population of animals having a large amount of variability surrounding certain traits

<u>Explanation:</u>

The population of animal is eating three different types of plants. One of them is good in digesting plant A, one of them is good in digesting plant B and other group is good in digesting plant C.  

Thus, the population although has a huge number, but each of the individual is divided into one of the 3 groups which is different in feeding habits. Thus there’s no scarcity of food in the population. Thus the population can live well and reproduce without any nutritional strain.
