caused a new species of pea plant to form

increased its genetic diversity

Explanation:

Density independent

Explanation:

The limiting factor shown in the question above is independent of deity.

The term density-independent limiting factor is used in ecology, along with the deity-dependent factor to describe growth-limiting factors in a population. When a factor causes changes in the birth and death rates of a population it means that it is a density dependent factor, since it interferes with the population density.

However, when population mortality and birth rates are modified without changing the size of the population, the density of that population is not modified and this is an density independent factor.
