NEET · Biology · STD 12 - 11. organisms and populations
Given below are two statements: Statement \(I:\) Gause's 'Competitive Exclusion Principle' states that two closely related species competing for the same resources cannot co-exist indefinitely and competitively inferior one will be eliminated eventually. Statement \(II:\) In general, carnivores are more adversely affected by competition than herbivores. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A Statement \(I\) is incorrect but Statement \(II\) is true.
- B Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are true.
- C Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are false.
- D Statement \(I\) is correct Statement \(II\) is false.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Statement \(I\) is correct Statement \(II\) is false.

Detailed explanation
Gause's 'Competitive Exclusion Principle' states that two closely related species competing for the same resources cannot co-exist indefinitely and the competitively inferior one will be eliminated eventaully. Thus, statement \(I\) is correct. Statement II is incorrect as in general, herbivores and plants appear to be more adversely affected by competition than carnivores.
