The disposition is realized in a process that mitigates damage to the bearer and has the part as a participant.
Examples include the following: CCR5 mutations protect T cells from HIV invasion. A tumor cell's resistance to chemotherapy protects the cell from damage by the drug (although this harms the patient). An insect's resistance to insecticide protects it from the insecticide.
definition
A disposition that inheres in a material entity in virtue of the fact that the entity has a part (e.g. a gene product), which itself has a disposition to mitigate damage to the entity.
