Which type of succession do the biotic components of a community cause? The biotic components of a community alter it to cause

succession.

Autogenic succession

Explanation:

Ecological succession refers to series of biological changes that occurs to a biological community. Based on the components that induce the occurrence of succession, succession can be of two types viz: autogenic or allogenic succession.

Autogenic succession is the succession that is self-caused by the biotic components of that ecosystem. As opposed to allogenic succession, which is caused by external abiotic factors (hurricane, flooding etc), autogenic succession is caused by the living organisms that make up such ecological community.

gametes or germ cells are haploid cells (example: sperm and ova) containing only one set (or n) number of chromosomes and autosomal or somatic cells are diploid cells containing 2n number of chromosomes.
