When two species occupy the exact same niche, there will be competition. There is usually a set amount of resources in an ecosystem, so when two species need the same resources, or occupy the same niche, there will eventually be competition.

Competition will lead to one of the species outcompeting the other one. Although this may be a long process, the more resources one of the species obtains, the more they will reproduce.

This is the exact opposite for the other species, they cannot obtain resources due to the other species, so they will start to die off.

Due to both the competition of resources and the lack of reproducing, the species that cannot obtain their niche likely will die off completely or become very scarce.

What kind of variation is exhibited by human bloods?

kotykmax [81]

<span>Blood provides an ideal opportunity for the study of human variation without cultural prejudice. It can be easily classified for many different genetically inherited blood typing systems. Also significant is the fact that we rarely take blood types into consideration in selecting mates. In addition, few people know their own type today and no one did prior to 1900. As a result, differences in blood type frequencies around the world are most likely due to other factors than social discrimination. Contemporary Japan is somewhat of an exception since there are popular Japanese stereotypes about people with different blood types. This could affect choice in marriage partners for some Japanese. </span>All human populations share the same 29 known blood systems, although they differ in the frequencies of specific types. Given the evolutionary closeness of apes and monkeys to our species, it is not surprising that some of them share a number of blood typing systems with us as well. When we donate blood or have surgery, a small sample is usually taken in advance for at least ABO and Rh systems typing. If you are O+, the O is your ABO type and the + is your Rh type. It is possible to be A, B, AB, or O as well as Rh+ or Rh- You inherited your blood types from your parents and the environment in which you live cannot change them. I took it from a website: http://anthro.palomar.edu/vary/vary_3.htm

How do you think your lungs move when you inhale?

IgorC [24]

Answer: When you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts and moves downward. This increases the space in your chest cavity, and your lungs expand into it. The muscles between your ribs also help enlarge the chest cavity. They contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.
