Question 8 • 5120VA Environmental Science Sem A

Which of the following is a possible long-term consequence of two organisms occupying the same niche?

Answer
A
Local extinction
B
Cooperation
C
Interbreeding
D
Coexistence

Explanation

Two organisms occupying the same niche compete for the same limited resources. Over time, one may outcompete the other, causing the less successful organism to disappear from that area—local extinction. Cooperation, interbreeding, and coexistence are not the usual outcome of sustained competition for the same niche.
