You observed the two species of barnacles, species 1 and species 2, occupy upper and lower strata of intertidal rocks, respectively. Only when species 1 was removed by you from the upper strata, species 2 could occupy both the upper and lower strata. From the choice given below what would be your inference from these observations.

#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. Upper strata of intertidal rocks is the realized niche of the species1
  2. Lower strata of intertidal rocks is the fundamental niche of the species1
  3. Lower strata of intertidal rocks is the realized niche of the species 2
  4. Both lower and upper strata of intertidal rocks is the fundamental niche of the species1

Some of the definitions are given match them correctly

 Column 1 Column 2
 1. Repressors bind to specific sites on the DNA. In bacterial cells, such binding sites, called a. effector
 2. Regulation by means of a repressor protein that blocks transcription is referred to as b. positive regulation
 3. Activators bind to DNA and enhance the activity of RNA polymerase at a promoter; this is c. negative regulation 
 4. Repressor binding to DNA is regulated by a molecular signal called d. operators
