When two species are forced to interact in a particular environment, how would
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

When two species find themselves in the same environment, the quest for survival would lead to interactions among themselves.

Competition would result when there are limited resources. For example, when Tigers and Lions who feed on the same prey exist together in an environment, a competitive relationship can result.

Predation is a sort of interaction where an organism feeds on a prey to survive. Here, the weaker animal/species stands the risk of being defeated in the battle for survival. For example, in some homes where cats and rats exist, the cats tend to prey on the rats.

Mutualism is a form of symbiotic relationship where the animals exist together in a cooperative manner. Most fungal species have been found to have a mutualistic relationship with the roots of plants. Each of these two is important to each other's survival.
