The brown-headed cowbird is an animal that is native to the Alberta grasslands. Brown-headed cowbirds lay eggs in the nests of other grassland birds, thereby forcing the other species to hatch the eggs and raise the young.The type of symbiotic relationship between the cowbirds and the other species of birds is
a. parasitism
b. commensalism
c. mutualism
d. predation
Please explain in details why you selected that method.
1.) Humans benefit from the presence of certain vitamin Kproducing bacteria that live in the large intestin The bacteria get food and shelter in return . This relationship is an example of
A.)parasitism
B.) predation
C.) commensalism
D.( mutualism
2.) A predator-prey relationship exists between the Canada lynx and the snowshoe hare. Lynx that are more successful hunters, are more likely to survive and reproduce, and thus pass on their traits to the next generation. Snowshoe hares that are faster or better at hiding are also more likely to pass on their successful traits From the above information , one can conclude that predator -prey interactions influence the process of
A.) inbreeding
B.) natural selection
C.) artificial selection
D.) parasitism
3.) Both intraspecific and interspecific competition affect population growth Which of the following statements about how population growth is affected by competition is correct?
A.) Only intraspecific competition increases…
