NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -When two or more individuals or populations try to use the same limited resources such as food, water, shelter, space, or sunlight, it is called competition. Competition can occur among individuals of the same species such as white tail deer competing for the same food or the same mate.

Detailed explanation-2: -Types of competition Interspecific competition occurs between individuals of different species. Intraspecific competition occurs between individuals of the same species.

Detailed explanation-3: -In interspecies competition, two species use the same limited resource. Competition has a negative effect on both of the species (-/-interaction).

Detailed explanation-4: -Intraspecific competition is a competition between individuals from the same species (cospecifics). The effect of competition on each individual within the species depends on the type of competition that takes place.

Detailed explanation-5: -Since individuals within a population require the same resources, crowding causes resources to become more limited. Some individuals (typically small juveniles) eventually do not acquire enough resources and die or do not reproduce. This reduces population size and slows population growth.
