Question

Character displacement is the evolutionary concept that states that;
Two species living in the same area will always compete with each other
If the characteristics of one species in an environment evolves, it will cause all other species
in the same environment to evolve as well
Two similar species in the same environment will evolve to become more dissimilar over time
O When two species occupy the same area for a long enough time they will co-evolve to co-
operate with each other

Expert Solution

Step 1

The change in the heritable characteristics of the species across many generations is called evolution. Evolution is a gradual process, and according to the theory of evolution, all species are related and evolved gradually. The term adaptation is referred to as the physical and behavioral change in an organism concerning its surroundings. The adaptations can be of various types such as behavioral, physiological, structural, co-adaptation.
