Answer

  1. Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

Explanation:

Interaction between two species, where both suffer adverse effects, is known as competition. Usually, competition occurs when resources, such as space, light and nutrients, etc. are in short supply. As a result of competition, the growth and reproduction of both species is reduced. Competition is basically of two types: (i) Interspecific (ii) Intraspecific. Interspecific competition occurs between individuals of two different species occurring in a habitat. On the other hand, intraspecific competition occurs between individuals of the same species. Generally, the intraspecific competition is more intense than interspecific competition because of the very similar requirements of the individuals of the same species which led them to compete more fiercely.
