<h2>Competitive exclusion principle.</h2>
Explanation:
The fundamental and realized niches of B. balanoides are identical, but the fundamental and realized niches of C. stellatus are different.
All the possible combination of resources and condition under which a species can grow, survive and reproduce is called its fundamental niche. Whereas, the more limited set of resources and condition under which a species can grow, survive and reproduce in the presence of competitors and predators is termed as its realized niche.
Competitive exclusion principle states that if two competing species coexist in a stable, homogeneous environment, then they do so as a result of differentiation in their realized niche.
<em>B. balanoides</em> can use a wider range of resources than<em> C. stellatus </em>because its fundamental and realized niches are identical . Hence thrives to exclude C.stellatus.

Answer:
linkage with approximately 33 map units between the two gene loci
Explanation:
If two genes are not linked, number of recombinants and parental offspring will be equal. Here it is clearly visible that recombinants are less than parental offspring hence the genes are linked. Given, the offspring are in following numbers:
AaBb = 106 = Parental
aabb = 94 = Parental
Aabb = 48 = Recombinant
aaBb = 52 = Recombinant
Recombination frequency = (Number of recombinants/ Total progeny) * 100 = (100/300) * 100 = 33.33 %
1% recombination frequency= 1 map unit of distance between the two gene loci. So here the distance between the two gene loci is approximately 33 map units.
Hence, these results are consistent with linkage with approximately 33 map units between the two gene loci
