Answer:

B. Endoparasitism

Explanation:

Living organisms tend to interact with one another in an ecosystem. In ecology, the interaction between two organisms is referred to as SYMBIOSIS. Symbiosis includes different types depending on how beneficial or harmful the relationship is.

One of the symbiotic relationships that occurs in an ecosystem is PARASITISM. Parasitism is the relationship between two organisms in which one organism benefits and the other is harmed due to the actions of the first organism. The organism that benefits is called the PARASITE while the harmed organism is called the HOST.

In this question, the eggs of the marine invertebrate develops in the body of the fish. The developing marine invertebrate feeds on the fish's body in order to derive nourishment. The fish gradually loses nutrients and dies as this prolongs. Hence, the marine invertebrate is benefitting at the expense of the fish. Therefore, the marine invertebrate is a Parasite feeding on a fish host. This makes this kind of relationship PARASITISM. However, since the invertebrate's egg lives and develops INSIDE the fish (host), the relationship is specifically called ENDOPARASITISM.

kari74 [83]
The correct answer is: <span>The image of the bottle should appear larger than the actual bottle. 

A concave mirror is a kind of lens that diverges towards the center, creating its focus into a reflected image that is larger in size. This is the reason why concave mirrors are known as divergent mirrors because the way the lens is constructed diverges in the middle.</span>

Sort the mutations based on whether their effects are harmful, beneficial, or neutral to the organisms that experience them. a m
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

A mutation is generally referred to as certain alternations in the gene whether it may be DNA sequences, which may be beneficial, harmful or of no significance to the mutant gene bearing organisms.

Explanation:

  • A mutation that increases the ability to store moisture in a dry environment is obviously beneficial. Because it prevents dehydration and maintains normal functioning in spite of adverse conditions.
  • A color mutation that decreases a bird's chances of sexual selection is beneficial in the sense that it prevent certain abnormalities in offspring like sexual dimorphism. Also sexual selection often proves to be a threat to the survival of the organisms as per handicap principle.
  • A mutation in non coding region of DNA is harmful, as it is often observed to facilitate expression of wrong proteins at inappropriate places.
  • A mutation in the that does not changes protein synthesis increased white pigmentation on a prey animal in snowy environment as it had prevented adaption of the prey and hence harmful for survival of it.
  • A mutation decreasing plant's height in competition to light, makes them less exposed to sun energy important for photosynthesis and hence it is harmful for the plant.
