What are three possible long-term consequences of two species occupying the same niche?

Answer:

  • one will become extinct
  • one/both will adapt
  • one will migrate to a new location

Explanation:

An ecological niche is the role species has in its environment. This includes how it survives, reproduces, finds shelter, and obtains good. It includes all its interactions with both biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) factors.

When species occupy the same niche, it means they are competing for the same resources. This is not sustainable. Eventually, one of three things are likely to happen:

  • one species will die out (become extinct) because they are being outcompeted by the more successful species, and will struggle to survive without adequate food and shelter
  • either one or both species will have to adapt to occupy another similar niche by, for example, exploiting a new food source in the area.
  • either one or both species will have to migrate to a new area to occupy a different geographical area and new resources.

The species that is being excluded from the niche can either adapt in the long term to occupy another similar niche, migrate to a new area, or it can die out.

In an effort to identify the influence of genetic factors on both Type I diabetes and Type II diabetes, researchers calculated c
Phantasy [73]

The correct answer is C) Genetic influences exert a larger role in Type II diabetes than in Type I diabetes.

Explanation:

Monozygotic or identical twins share the same genes; due to this, if twins have the same diseases or there are concordance rates, it can be concluded the disease or condition is influenced by genetics.

In the case of diabetes, the concordance rate for Type II diabetes was high (80%), which proves this type of diabetes is influenced to a large extend by genetics. Similarly, in Type I diabetes genetics seem to have an influence but this is not as strong as in Type II because the rates were lower (30-50%).

Moreover, the results of dizygotic twins (twins with different genes) show diabetes is influenced by genetics because in these twins the genetics are not the same, and therefore the concordance rate is low.

Hi what u guys doing what's 1 Times 2 please help me I don't know it And I'm in middle school
Strike441 [17]

Anything multiplied once is the number itself so 1×2 = 2

Multiplication is like repeated addition so for instance if we do add 2 three times (2+2+2) that gives 6 so to make it easier, you multiply 2 three times.
