Question

As compared to seral communities, the number of niches in climax communities would be

• A. Same
• B. Fewer and generalised
• C. More and specialised
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C More and specialised

Niche is nothing but the climatic surroundings of an organism. It is the role a species plays in its respective environment. When a climatic community reaches its end-stage in the process of ecological succession, it is called the climax community. The organisms of the climatic community have the most type of evolutionary trends. So, their niches are more in number. They are also specialized as their organisms show a steady stage of development.

So, option C is the correct answer.
