Please solve A parasitic fungus can only reproduce while living inside its host ant species and the fungus can onlyparasitize one species of ant. A disease causes the extinction of the ant species the fungus can parasitize.Which of the following is the best prediction for the fungus population?The fungus will develop a mutation that allows them to parasitize other ant species.At least some individuals will be able to switch to a different ant species as this is necessary for thecontinued survival of the population.Populations always have adequate variation to respond to environmental change, so some individuals willsurvive and pass on their adaptive characteristics to their offspring.The fungi will not be capable of reproducing so the population will eventually die out

The parasitic fungus is able to reproduce inside the host ant species. If that particular host…

Example: Three birds loved to eat beetles especially the green (female) and the brown (male). But their favorites are the green beetles. Generations later, green beetles have been selected and brown beetles have increased in number.- What do you think will happen if a disease was introduced and invaded the species living in an ecosystem?This is not aimed at the example, but you may use it as reference, thanks!
Several kinds of symbiotic relationships involve a fungus and a photoautotroph. Give two different examples of this kind of relationship. For the two examples, you choose, explain whether each relationship is parasitism, commensalism, or mutualism. Are either of the species interactions in either of your two examples beneficial for or detrimental to humans? Explain.
The golden jackal is an organism in nature that follows a tiger to feed on leftovers from the tiger's kills. The tiger is unaffected by the golden jackal, while the golden jackal benefits by getting food from leftovers. This symbiotic relationship is called: Mutualism Parasitism Facultative mutualism Commensalism

Some plants have fungi associated with their root systems. The plant provides sugars for the fungus; the fungus helps absorb water and dissolved nutrients for the plant.What is the interaction between the plant and the fungus an example of? 1.Mutualism2. Commensalism3. Parasitism4.Predation
Plasmodium is a vector for mosquitos. It is a protozoan that is the causal agent of malaria, which is responsible for killing as many 855,000 people in 2013, the majority of them being children. Populations of mosquitos are strongly influenced by the availability of standing water for egg-laying and larval development. How might mosquito density, and thereby human mortality, be affected by patterns of rainfall?
Malaria is a disease in humans caused by infection with a protist, a eukaryotic organism. What describes the interaction between humans and the organism causing malaria? 1.Predation2. Parasitism3. Commensalism4. Mutualism

The choices are: parasitism, mutualism, commensalism and none of the above.Definitions: One species kept alive to benefit the other species Answer Both species benefit from forming a symbiotic relationship Answer Neither of the species benefit from forming a symbiotic relationship Answer While one species increases its survivability, the other species neither benefits nor suffers from the symbiotic relationship Answer One species benefits greatly while the other species dies Answer
