Which of the following statements is INCORRECT regarding Niche?

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

A niche represents the functional role or position of a species within its ecosystem, including its interactions with both biotic and abiotic factors.

A niche is highly species-specific. According to the competitive exclusion principle, no two species can occupy the exact same niche in the same habitat indefinitely. Therefore, the statement that a niche is not species-specific is incorrect.

The other statements are correct: a niche describes the role or activity of an organism, it supports a single species at a time, and it involves the organism's trophic position, which deals with the flow of energy.

Answer: It is not species specific
