Answer:

B. a specific characteristic of an organism.

Explanation:

<u>The trait is a word that shows some </u><u>quality or characteristics of the being</u><u>.</u> It can be physical or mental. It can also be some characteristic that is biological or genetically inherited.

In the paragraph, we see that trait is used to describe characteristics of the animals which are considered attractive by other animals and which are used to attract the mate for creating offspring. Therefore, trait here means <u>some particular attribute, feature, or characteristic of a certain animal organism.</u>

Their behavior is described in the first part of the paragraph (first two sentences), <u>and then the paragraph continues with describing what increases chances of mating which are specific desired traits aka characteristics.</u>

Answer:

Proactive interference

Explanation:

Proactive interference occurs when the old memories interfere with new information to restrain. Due to proactive interference, a person finds difficulties to store the new information because of the interference of old memories. It is not common phenomena but it occurs with everyone in their lifetime.  

For example when you learned the name of Asian countries and after that, you might learn the name of the African country's name and you recall the names of African countries name you would probably miss the name of both Asian and African countries name.  

Thus due to proactive interference, most people are not able to recall the new information because of similar information they learned before.
