Question

Species A and species B compete for a certain resource. However, the strength of intraspecific competition exceeds the strength of interspecific competition. How will adding individuals of species B affect species A?

A. We cannot predict anything about the effect

B. Less negatively than adding individuals of species A

C. More negatively than adding individuals of species A

D. The same as adding individuals of species A

Answer 1

Ansr÷ (B) less negatively than adding of individual A

Explanation÷ intraspecific competition is that competition which occurs between the same species . Whereas interspecific competition means competition between different species.

Now in the question it has been given that intraspecific competition is more powerful here. So if individuals of B species is added then it will affect B species itself, more than A species.

So overall impact on A will be less negative than adding individuals of A.
