ANSWER:

Two types of plants (let's say a daisy and a sunflower) are repeatedly attacked and destroyed by ants. But, with each generation, they pass down a trait to help them. So, over a long period of time, the sunflower develops a toxin on its leaves that kill the ants if they touch it. But the daisy doesn't make anything. So, since the sunflower have developed a means of protection due to its ability to adapt, it survived.
