The following figure is a model of seedling establishment as a function of distance from a parent tree. Initial seed density measures the number of seeds falling to the ground. Seed survivorship measures the proportion of seeds that survive to the adult stage at each distance

This model predicts that recruitment of new individuals into the population should be

Some members of a photosynthetic plant species are genetically resistant to an herbicide, while other members of the same species are not resistant to the herbicide. Which combination of events should cause the most effective replacement of the non-herbicide-resistant strain of plants by the resistant strain?

1. The presence of the herbicide in the environment

2. The absence of the herbicide from the environment

3. The maintenance of the proper conditions for one generation

4. The maintenance of the proper conditions for many generations
