Answer: A BIOME is an area of the planet that shaves similar conditions of climate, fauna (animal life), flora (plant life) and geography . The correct option is 1.
Explanation:
BIOME is defined as large natural terrestrial ecosystems which shares similar conditions of climate and consists of plants and animals that equally have common characteristics with their environment. The word terrestrial is used because plants form the bulk of the community in an ecosystem. The type of vegetation in a biome is largely determined by climatic factors, especially rainfall and temperature. Regions throughout the world which have similar climates have similar biomes. This causes zones of different biomes to occur from the equator to the Arctic and to the Antarctic. For example,
--> in equatorial and tropical areas where temperature is high all the year round tropical forests occur;
--> in temperate regions coniferous and deciduous forests occur;
--> while treeless plains (tundra) are found in the cold arctic regions.
Climates also changes with height above the sea level.

Answer:
Because of niche partitioning or differentiation.
Explanation:
Competition is a common ecological and evolutive process in nature. Competition might be intra- or interspecific. Competition between different species in a community or ecosystem might be due to the same resource use, or the same territory, shelter, etcetera. When a resource is useful for two or more species and limited, they compete to gain it.
The <u>principle of competitive exclusion</u> states that different species with the same requirements sharing the niche can not coexist indefinitely based on the same limited resource. <u>When two competing species coexist, this is because of niche partitioning or niche differentiation.</u>
Differentiation of effective niche is closely related to character displacement. Resource partitioning and differentiation allow both species to coexist more effectively.
In the exposed example, swallows and bats feed on insects and breed in similar habitats. However, swallows feed during the day, while bats feed during the night. Feeding at different times is an example of niche differentiation. In this way, both species can inhabit the same area and feed on the same source of food, but avoid competition.
