Competition occurs when 2 or more organisms or populations in a community rely or need similar limiting resources.
Step-by-step explanation:
- When many organisms living in the same community rely on similar limiting resources competition occurs.
- Every organism has its own living space and specialty which includes basic needs such as nourishment, shelter, temperature, and moisture. When the amount of organisms increases, they compete to have a better survival for the sharing of similar resources.
- When different species population occupy a similar niche, they compete themselves for these limited natural resources. Two or more species may have similar basic needs that occupy the same niche.
