Theory that closely related species cannot co-exist indefinitely C. Competitive Exclusion 3. Related and unrelated species competing for resources D. Co-existence Mechanisms 4. Avoidance of competition by different resource use
Options
- AA - 3, B - 1, C - 2, D - 4
- BA - 2, B - 1, C - 3, D - 4
- CA - 1, B - 2, C - 4, D - 3
- DA - 4, B - 3, C - 1, D - 2
Correct answer
A. A - 3, B - 1, C - 2, D - 4
Step-by-step solution
The struggle for existence involves both related and unrelated species competing for resources. Fitness measure refers to lower fitness due to the presence of another species. Competitive exclusion is the theory that closely related species cannot co-exist indefinitely. Co-existence mechanisms involve avoiding competition by using resources differently.
