resistance
competetion

Explication
Adaptation is a heritable trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce in its environment. Adaptations can be behavioral, morphological, or physiological. They can be the result of a gene mutation that improves an organism's ability to survive and reproduce. Over time, the mutation becomes more common as it passes to offspring.
