To review:
The four senses through which the animals are capable of communicating with the help of an example. Also, advantages and disadvantages of different forms of communication.
Introduction:
Communication is a term which refers to the generation of signal by one organism which leads to a change in the behavior of another organism. Animals often broadcast information and this information is responsible for evoking a response from other individuals. When an animal produces a signal, which alters the behavior of another organism and benefits both of them is known as communication. There are four ways through which animals can communicate.
