Question 7
Which of the following represents the difference between intraspecific competition and interspecific competition?(1 point)
Responses

Intraspecific competition occurs between individuals of the same species, while interspecific competition occurs between individuals of different species.
Intraspecific competition occurs between individuals of the same species, while interspecific competition occurs between individuals of different species.

Intraspecific competition affects the population of a different species, while interspecific competition affects the population of the same species.
Intraspecific competition affects the population of a different species, while interspecific competition affects the population of the same species.

Intraspecific competition is always beneficial, while interspecific competition is always detrimental.
Intraspecific competition is always beneficial, while interspecific competition is always detrimental.

Intraspecific competition reduces the availability of resources, while interspecific competition increases the availability of resources.
