Question

The graph shows the populations of two species in a particular region over two decades. Based on the graph, what can you conclude about the relationship between the two species?

Answer 1

The correct answer is - B. Mutualistic. The symbiotic relationship shown in this graph is most likely a mutualistic symbiotic relationship. in a mutualistic symbiotic relationship, the two species benefit from one another, in a way they collaborate for the well-being of both of them. this leads to a situation where the increase in numbers of one of the species, the other species also experiences increase in numbers, and if one of them has a decrease in numbers, it is very likely that the other species will experience the same. in this graph we have exactly that kind of situation one of the species experiences increasing in numbers, and the other species follows the same pattern, which most likely means that a mutualistic symbiotic relationship exist between the two species.
