C. Their environment makes them change slowly over time.
In biology, evolution is the change in the characteristics of a species over several generations and relies on the process of natural selection. The theory of evolution is based on the idea that all species are related and gradually change over time.
When there is heavy competition between two species these results may surface. First, even if there is just a little advantage of one species, the tendency is the best competitors will dominate the other. This may lead to the extinction of the weaker species. Another result is, competition may cause the traits of the competing species to evolve. This result is called character displacement. This is what happens when for instance the species live in the same area and have the same and common niche; the characteristics of the species evolve in order for them to minimize niche overlap. This is also for them not to have competitive exclusion. To add to that, when there is heavy competition, the finite resources will not be enough for all competitors who have all access to the resources. This may lead to very low survival rates.
Answer: A COMMUNITY
Explanation:
A biotic community, also known as a biota or ’biocoenosis’, is the group of ORGANISMS of two or more different species that live together and interact with each other within an environment or habitat. Together, the biotic community and the physical landscape or abiotic factors make up an ECOSYSTEM.
A group of organisms constitute POPULATION. But when several populations share a common habitat and its resources, they interact among themselves and develop into a biotic community or simply, a community.
