Answer;

Coevolution

As newts' poison became more toxic, the garter snake's resistance to it became more efficient. This is an example of coevolution.

Step-by-step explanation;

  • Co-evolution takes place when two or more species or organisms evolve together in adapting to their environments.
  • Co-evolution is happen when different species have close ecological relations or interactions with each other, such as predator-prey, and parasite-host.
  • For example, in mutualistic co-evolution, two organisms that benefit from each other evolve together. In competitive co-evolution, prey will evolve traits to prevent being fed on by predators, and predators will then evolve to be capable of catching their prey.
