NEET (UG) 2024 — Question 178
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Gause's competitive exclusion principle states that two closely related species competing for different resources cannot exist indefinitely.
Statement II: According to Gause's principle, during competition, the inferior will be eliminated. This may be true if resources are limiting.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- Option A:
Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
- Option B:
Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
- Option C:
Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
- Option D:Correct
Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
Answer: D
Step-by-step solution
Gause's competitive exclusion principle states that two closely related species competing for the same
resources cannot exist indefinitely and the competitively inferior one will be eliminated eventually. This
may be true if resources are limiting.
