What does Mutualism mean? (Give definition, example & explanation)

Biology
1 answer:
koban [17]4 years ago
3 0
A mutualistic relationship is when two organisms of different species "work together," each benefiting from the relationship. One example of a mutualistic relationship is that of the oxpecker (a kind of bird) and the rhinoceros or zebra. Oxpeckers land on rhinos or zebras and eat ticks and other parasites that live on their skin. The oxpeckers get food and the beasts get pest control. Also, when there is danger, the oxpeckers fly upward and scream a warning, which helps the symbiont (a name for the other partner in a relationship).

Why does it benefit an imperial shrimp to travel on a sea cucumber?
olasank [31]

Answer:

the imperial shrimp and the sea cucumber have what's referred to as a one sided symbiotic relationship. that's a type of relationship where there's two organisms, but only one of those organisms benefit. the other organism isn't helped, but it isn't hurt, either.

<u>an imperial shrimp benefits from its relationship with the sea cucumber because the shrimp, when hungry, can get a lift on his lil friend the sea cucumber and is dragged around the ocean to where there's food for shrimp to eat :)</u>

I need two examples of things that apply to both relative and absolute dating
matrenka [14]
Relative dating concerns the dating of fossils by using stratum (layers in the rock) to find the estimated age.

Absolute dating is finding the age of a fossil by using radiometric methods, such as fluorine dating or half-life dating; which is more accurate than relative dating.

C. Both types of reproduction enable genetic information to be passed from parent to offspring.
