Title: Intraspecific competition limits a population size as
Post by: 4bio on Jul 12, 2017
 Intraspecific competition limits a population size as

Select one:
a. competition for resources intensifies as two species compete for resources
b. certain alleles give some individuals a competitive advantage; "less fit" individuals are not as successful
c. clumped distribution decreases competition, which removes "weak" and old individuals from the population
d. K-selected species are more competitive than r-selected species, which changes natality and mortality rates

Hi again

b. certain alleles give some individuals a competitive advantage; "less fit" individuals are not as successful

Biologically speaking, this makes the most sense.

A is wrong because intraspecific refers to a single species.
