Answer: A. Insects lay eggs in the sloth's waste.

Commensalism is a biological interaction, in which two species lives in association, in this relationship one species gets the benefit and the other one receives neither harm nor benefit.

The insects gets shelter in the fur of the sloth. It shows commensalism in the tropical rainforest. Instead of dropping feces (waste) directly from the tree top. The slot come down to ground. They create a pit with their nails and discharge urine and feces. They discharge their waste weekly. Insects lay eggs on this waste. The development of insect larva takes place in the discharged waste. The adult insects then fly up into the treetops. The insects utilize sloth body as shelter. Therefore, it is an example of commensalism where only one species is benefited that is insect species and sloth species is neither harmed nor benefited.

Summarize how the climate of the Miocene epoch impacted the evolution of hominins

andrezito [222]

Answer with Explanation:

The Miocene epoch was deeply characterized by seasonal conditions, such as having more colder winters in the northern areas.

In the late Miocene, open vegetation system expanded. These included grasslands, woodlands and shrublands. As a result, more primates inhabited the area. Several habitats became diverse from each other, thus allowing the species to adapt, including their locomotion. For example, the species who used to live on trees, turn towards living on land (terrestrial life). Certain animals also came about such as pigs, giraffes, monkeys, etc. Scavenging hominins also scattered. When it comes to hominins, a major type of locomotion evolved called "bipedalism." This allowed the hominins to walk using the lower limbs (two feet).
