Definitions of Competition Characteristics A. Interspecific Competition 1. Two closely related species cannot co-exist indefinitely B. Interference Competition 2. Fitness of one species is lower in the presence of another C. Competitive Exclusion Principle 3. Competition can occur even if resources are abundant D. Resource Partitioning 4. Species avoid competition by using resources differently

Options

  1. AA - 1, B - 2, C - 3, D - 4
  2. BA - 4, B - 1, C - 2, D - 3
  3. CA - 2, B - 3, C - 1, D - 4
  4. DA - 3, B - 4, C - 1, D - 2

Correct answer

Step-by-step solution

Interspecific competition is where the fitness of one species is lowered in the presence of another. Interference competition can occur even if resources are abundant.
