Answer #1

Ans.) Competion can cause extinction of another species because that species can be eliminated due to exploitive competition, interference competition and apparent competition. Lesser competitive species gets extinct.

While predation donot causes extinction because if prey species gets extinct then it may lead to extinction of predator as well which is dependent on prey for nutrition, hence predator always keeps a check on prey population.
