Adaptation for survival: WAEC Biology Past Questions and Answers

What the WAEC syllabus covers in Adaptation for survival

Our summary: What organisms compete for, competition within and between species, and how it links to succession.

  • Factors that bring about competition (Reference should be made to the factors such as food, space, water, light and mates which organisms share and form the basis of competition.)
  • Intra and inter-species competition (The effects of intra-species competition should be observed by growing many seedlings of maize in a small area, while the effects of interspecies competition can be observed by planting many seedlings of maize and pepper in a small area.)
  • Relationship between competition and succession (Candidates should observe competition and succession on a moistened exposed slice of bread over a period of time.)
