Answer:

The correct answer will be-reproduction.

Explanation:

Biologist tried to distinguish the living organisms from non-living beings and suggest eight characteristic features of life: cellular, metabolism, heredity material reproduction, homeostasis, sensitivity, growth and development.

The characteristic which is not essential for the individual organism is a reproduction as it produces offspring to maintain the continuity of species, not individual.

An individual organism can remain sterile that is does not produce offspring but can survive. Since the reproduction benefited at the species level and not individual level therefore reproduction is the correct answer.

Answer:

Horizontal gene transfer

Explanation:

Horizontal gene transfer or lateral gene transfer is when an organisms of different species can acquire a gene from a different one. This process is well understood in bacteria and is responsible for the appearence of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Bacteria can take DNA fragments through a process known as transformation, but this is less common in eukaryotes. Gene transfer agents like viruses could carry the gene from one specimen to the other. Another way could be Horizontal transposon transfer but the exact mechanisms behind it are still under research.
