Answer:

of the low pH of the vagina.

Explanation:

The pH of the vagina is maintained at highly acidic levels to prevent the germ buildup. The range of vaginal pH is around 3.8 to 4.5. The very low pH of the vagina creates a hostile environment for sperms and most of the sperms are killed as they enter the vagina due to the acidic pH.

Apart from supplementing the sperms with energy, cervical mucus serves to protect the sperms from the hostile conditions of the vagina. The cervical mucus has an alkaline pH at or near the ovulation to protect sperms from acidic pH of the vagina and to facilitate fertilization.

Answer:

Competition for food happens when there is a limited amount of food resources available. The members of a species that eat that food who are best adapted to access the food are more likely to reproduce and pass on their genes to the next generation.

For example, we have a bird feeder with a narrow opening for food. The small-headed birds can reach the food, the bigger-headed birds cannot. If this was the only food source for this area, then over time, there would be more smaller-headed birds than large-headed birds, due to the competition for food and success/lack of success.
