Compare parasitism and mutualism for the two factors (A and B) below.
A) What distinguishes these two strategies from the other strategies for interaction?
B) What is the long-term benefit to the micro-symbiont as far as access to a new host?
C) What is the cost (e.g. DNA that needs to be maintained)?
Are there examples of mutualism or parasitism within these species? Explain and classify them into categories of mutualism, parasitism, and none.
What is coevolution? Using the myxoma-rabbit example explain how coevolution can lead to an arms race between the host and parasite.

- Describe and give (an example) the following relationships between organisms. a) predation b) parasitism c) mutualismarrow_forwardSeveral 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.arrow_forwardMany species of bacteria take up residence in our bodies and assist in digestion of certain foods. What type of interaction is this?
