Based on this evidence, which of the following types of symbiotic relationships do you suspect might be occurring between the spider and the bacteria?

Answer:

The right answer is c. commensalistic

Explanation:

Commensalism is a type of relationship between two individuals in which one of the individuals becomes benefitted from the other individual and the other individual is not harmed and even not get benefitted from the counterpart.

So, in this case, the bacteria that were living in the spider's gut are benefitted because they got space and environment to live and the spider is not harmed and benefitted because there is no negative effect of presence and absence of bacteria on spider's health which was proved by antibiotic treatment.

Therefore commensalistic relationship might be occurring between spider and the bacteria. So the correct answer is c.

kodGreya [7K]

What Mendel did according to the illustration would be called test-crossing.

<h3>Test-crossing</h3>

In genetics, test crossing is a procedure through which the zygosity of an individual can be determined - whether it is homzygous or heterozygous.

Test crossing requires that an organism who displays a dominant trait but whose zygosity is unknown is crossed with another organism of the same species but who displays the recessive version of the same trait.

By so doing and using the knowledge of probability, the resulting offspring from the cross will be used to determine the zygosity level of the parent.
