How is parasitism different from commensalism?

Biology
1 answer:
zloy xaker [14]3 years ago
3 0
Parasitism is when one organism benefits at the cost of it's host. Like fleas on a dog or intestinal parasites to livestock. Fleas and intestinal worms get food and a nice place to livr, while the dogs and the livestock are being leeched off of and malnourished.

Commensalism is when one organism benefits, while the host is left unharmed- but also doesn't really get anything in return, unlike mutualism. Like a shark and remoras (those fish with suction-cup heads & hitchhike). Sharks aren't hurt, but the remoras get free transportation and access to food scraps.

Hope this helps!

madam [21]

Answer:

The technique that is used in inserting a gene into a crop is genetic modification.

What is genetic modified crop?

A genetically modified organism (GMO) is a living organism whose DNA has been altered using genetic engineering techniques.

Humans have used breeding methods to modify organisms for thousands of years. Over generations, corn, cattle, and even dogs have been selectively bred to have certain desired traits.

The majority of GMO crops grown today were developed to assist farmers in preventing crop and food loss and controlling weeds.

The following are the most common traits found in GMO crops: Resistance to certain harmful insects, and Tolerance to certain weed-controlling herbicides.

Thus, with the help of genetic modification, a gene that controls beta-carotene production can be successfully inserted into a common food crop.
