Question

D Question 1 3 pts Darwin claimed that intraspecific competition was stronger than interspecific competition for most species most of the time. Is that consistent with Liebig's law of the minimum, and why? o Consistent, because members of different species are more likely to have the same limiting resource. o Inconsistent, selection will favor members of the same species cooperating with one another to make sure all get enough resources. Consistent, because members of the same species are more likely to have the same limiting resource 3 pts

Explanation / Answer

Correct answer is C:-

Consistent because members of the same species are more likely to have the same limiting resource.

NOTE : When organism belong to the same species then they have the same requirement for resources. This leads to intense intra specific competition.

Liebig's law states that every organism can tolerate any environmental factor in a range.
