The correct answer is option B
Species interactions are categorized based on their reciprocal effects (the effects that the interaction has on each species/individual involved).
1. Bees pollinate plants as they move from flower to flower collecting pollen.
This is a mutualistic relationship because the both species involved in this interaction benefit from the interaction. The bee benefits because it obtains nectar which is provided by the plant. The plant benefits because the bee carries the plants pollen to other plants, allowing the plant to reproduce.
2. Green algae grow on the backs of spider crabs living in shallow water.
This is another example of a mutualistic relationship because both species involved in this interaction benefit from the interaction. The spider crab benefits from the camouflage that the algal growth provides, while the algae benefits from the protection from predators provided by the spider crab.
3. Fleas living on skin of dogs and obtaining nutrients from dogs blood.
This is a parasitic relationship because one of the species benefits from the interaction while the other species in negatively impacted by the interaction. The flea benefits from the nutrients obtained from the dogs blood while the dog is negatively impacted by the fleas presence (loss of blood, discomfort).
4. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria obtain nutrients from host plants and use the nitrogen to supply host plants with nitrogen.
This is an example of mutualism because both species in this interaction are benefitting from the interaction. The nitrogen fixing bacteria benefit by receiving nutrients from the host plant while the host plant is benefitting from receiving nitrogen from the bacteria.
Feel free to comment and ask any additional questions.
The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:
Which of the following mutations is most likely to cause a phenotypic change?
A) a duplication of all or most introns
B) a large inversion whose ends are each in intergenic regions
C) a nucleotide substitution in an exon coding for a transmembrane domain
D) a single nucleotide deletion in an exon coding for an active site
E) a frameshift mutation one codon away from the 3' end of the nontemplate strand
Answer: D) a single nucleotide deletion in an exon coding for an active site
Explanation:
Deletion or insertion of a single nucleotide in an axon coding for an active site is called frameshift mutation.
The sequence of codons is read during translation, in order to synthesize a amino acids chain and form a protein from the nucleotide sequence. Frameshift mutations occur when the usual codon sequence is broken by the deletion or addition of one or more nucleotides. For example, if only one nucleotide is removed from the axon sequence during the RNA splicing process, then there will be a disrupted reading frame for all codons before and after the mutation. This may result in several incorrect amino acids being introduced into the protein. Disruption in protein sequence will cause phenotypic change.
Hence, the correct option is D) a single nucleotide deletion in an exon coding for an active site
