In ecology‚ the competitive exclusion principle‚ sometimes referred to as Gause’s law of competitive exclusion or just Gause’s law‚ is a proposition which states that two species competing for the same resources cannot coexist if other ecological factors are the same. When one species has even the slightest advantage or edge over another‚ then the one with the advantage will dominate in the long term. One of the two competitors will always overcome the other‚ leading to either the extinction

1. Describe the general structure and function of the nervous system. The Nervous System is a "network" which delivers information and monitors the processes taking place in our bodies at all times. The nervous system in all its aspects allows us to function as a single controlled and coordinated unit. The basic nerve cell nerve cell is a neuron; a chain of neurons is actually a "communication cable "inside our bodies. Neuron structure is basically the cell nucleus‚ the dendrites which receive information
