Question

Question Completion Status: True In Batesian mimicry, one poisonous prey species has evolved the same warning coloration as another poisonous prey species False QUESTION 15 Resource partitioning can often be seen in a species that occupy the same graphic portions of the habit or by wiring different food or other resources and are called sympatric These species avoid competition by living in different species allopatric competitive O fundamental O exploitative QUESTION 16 Interspecific competition can affect the phenotypic characteristics of organisms True False

Answer 1

1) Batesian mimicry: non-poisonous organism mimics poisonous organisms, so the given statement is False.

2) sympatric speciation, individuals in a population in a geographic area, use different niches so individuals, it reduces the chance of mating between individuals in one niche with individuals in another niche. so these two populations becomes new species over time.

allopatric speciation, individuals in populations are separated by geographic barriers, the two populations will develop into new species over time. so the answer is a) sympatric.

3) interspecific competition is the competition between the individuals of different species, and those individuals in the species which has the phenotypes which make them able to use the resource more efficiently will survive and reproduce more, so interspecific competition can lead to phenotypic changes so the statement is true.
