The phrase, parasite and the host are always in intimate dance together depicts the co-evolution of the parasites according to the host.

In case, the host adapt to a certain character, the dependent parasite also need to evolve in order to survive. So, any change in the host's behavior cause changes in the behavior of the parasite. As, in the intimate dance, if a dance partner changes his position or moves, the associated partner also reacts according to the changes and matches with the other partner, so, that they always remain intimate.

A) Segregation

Explanation:

In Mendel's law of Segregation, each allele is inherited separately from each other within gametes- each gamete can only carry one gene.

Transposons refute this; here, variegation (regions of multiple colors) may occur due to "jumping genes" leading to multiple phenotypic variants like a multicolored seed,instead of a seed retaining one solid color. Mendelian ratios, thus, are not observed.

This is seen in instances such as Indian corn- these seeds may be purple, red, green and yellow. Variegation of seed color can occur to produce multicolored grains of purple and white.
