A line of indirect evidence of competition comes from the comparison between closely related species, whose population can be allopatric (geographically separated) or sympatric (geographically superimposed). In some cases, the allopatric populations of these species are morphologically similar and use similar resources. On the other hand, sympatric population, which are supposed to compete for resources, have body structures and use different resources. The displacement of characters is the tendency to have more divergent characteristics in sympatric populations of two species than in allopatric populations of the same two species.

An example of character displacement is the variation in size between populations of galapagos finches. Some of its populations are allopatric ( they live separately) and others are sympatric ( they live together). Peak size distributions they vary according to whether they are sympatric or allopatric.  They look more alike when they are allopathic than when they are sympatric. That is, the peak size character moves when species enter competition.

Which is NOT a characteristic of a plant? multicellular eukaryotes have chloroplasts mobility
murzikaleks [220]
<span>Among all choices, mobility is not a characteristic of a plant. Plants are multicellular organisms. They have organelles inside their cells and thus they are eukaryotes. Chloroplasts are organelles that are found in plant cells and they have an important role in the process of photosynthesis. However, plants cannot move from place from place like animals.</span>
