<span>Because an increase in oxytocin level increases the contractions </span>

Oxytocin can be defined as a hormone that usually acts on organs of the body which includes the uterus and breast. They can also act as a chemical messenger in the brain by controlling some important aspect of reproductive system such as lactation and childbirth. However, the positive feedback mechanism of oxytocin is that an increase in release of oxytocin will stimulate more contractions.

A clown fish takes shelter in a sea anemone, protecting the sea anemone by chasing away butterfly fish. What two types of intera
Flauer [41]
The answer is <span>b. Predation and mutualism.

</span>

<span>Mutualism is a relationship between two different species in which both species benefit. In clownfish - sea anemone relationship, the clownfish is protected from predators (butterfly fish) by the sea anemone, so the clownfish benefits from this relationship. The sea anemone gets more prey thanks to a coloration of the clownfish, so the sea anemone also benefits from this relationship. Since both species benefit, their relationship is an example of mutualism.</span>

<span>On the other hand, a relationship between the sea anemone and butterfly fish is an example of predation. Predation is the relationship in which predator hunts and feeds on its prey. In the example, the butterfly fish feeds on the sea anemone, so it must be predation.</span>
