Question

The niche of species is meant for?
(A) The specific places where organisms live
(B) The specific function of species and its competitive partner
(C) The habitat and specific function of a species
(D) None of these

Answer 1

Niche means the function and the position of a species within an ecological community. A niche is the fitness of a species living under certain environmental circumstances to the other closely related species within a similar broad taxonomic class.

Step by step answer: In ecology, a niche is the match of a species to a specific environmental limitation. It characterizes how an organism or population accepts to the distribution of resources and opponents for example, by growing when resources are abundant, and when predators, parasites, and pathogens are limited and in turn, modifies those same factors, for example, limiting entry to resources by other organisms, functioning as a food source for predators and a consumer of prey. Based on the interchanges of species with the physical and biological world, niches are of three types; spatial or habitat niche, trophic niche, and multidimensional niche. The spatial or habitat niche is the biological area within the habitat that a variety occupies. Biotic components are living things, while abiotic components are non-living things. Habitat appears under the abiotic factor. Hence the niche of a species is meant for the habitat and particular roles of a species.
Hence option C is correct.

Note: The prevalence of species exist in a common ecological niche, sharing behaviors, modifications, and functional traits similar to the other almost related species within the same broad taxonomic class, but there are exceptions.
