Solution
The more close two organisms are, the more intense the competition between them. Intraspecific competition is more intense than interspecific competition.
Explanation:
The more closely related or similar two organisms are, the more intense the competition between them. This is because they tend to require similar resources and niches. Intraspecific competition, which occurs between members of the same species, is more intense than interspecific competition between different species. This happens because individuals of the same species have nearly identical resource requirements, leading to greater competition for the same limited resources.
