A. direct B. indirect C. direct D. indirect

Competition occurs by direct and indirect means. Organisms interact directly by fighting (aggression) for scarce resources. Two eagles fighting over the salmon carcass and two colonies of ant clashing over a wasp are samples of aggression (direct competition)

Indirect competition happens when there is a common or limited <span>supply of at least one resource  (food, water, and territory). </span>Use of this resource lessens and later depletes the amount available to others, or they compete for space.<span> Gray foxes preying on penguins and squirrels relying on nuts for food are samples of indirect competition.</span>

In your own words, explain why a virus such as the rhinovirus, which relies on close contact to spread, might evolve to favor le
Zielflug [23.3K]

Rhinoviruses are transmitted through the air or via contact. We might expect this sort of transmission to require a fairly healthy host (one who gets out and comes into contact with others) and, hence, to select against virulent strains. If we take precautions and try to stay away from people or avoid any contact with people, more hand-washing stations, increased attention to sanitization, and isolation of patients will help to reduce the transmission of the disease and, in the process, may favor the evolution of less virulent strains of the virus.
