The correct answer is tick on a dog.
The parasitic relationship can be defined as the relation in which one organism feeds on the other organism for their nutritional purpose. It can also harm the other organism by any means. Here, tick on the dog is dependent on the dog for its nutritional requirement. This is an example of parasitic relationship between dog and tick.
Answer:
B) oaks and other sexually reproducing, extant (currently living) trees
Explanation:
The biological species concept defines the species on the basis of their reproductive isolation. It states that when individuals are able to interbreed to produce fertile and viable progeny, they belong to the same species. The members of different biological species cannot interbreed. If they interbreed, either pre-zygotic or post-zygotic isolation mechanisms do not allow the production of fertile progeny.
Therefore, the biological species concept can be applied to the organisms that are able to reproduce sexually. The asexually reproducing organisms would not exhibit any reproductive isolation which is a key criterion to group organisms under different species. Among the given examples, biological species concept can be applied to the sexually reproducing extant trees such as oak.
Since we cannot deduce the reproductive isolation in sexually reproducing extinct species, the concept is not useful for dinosaurs which are extinct now.
