Three types of symbiosis?

The three types of symbiosis are... Mutualism: A relationship in which both species benefit. Commensalism: A relationship in which one species benefits and the other species is neither helped nor harmed. Commensalism is not very common in nature because two species are usually either helped or harmed a little by any interaction. Parasitism: A relationship that involves one organism living on or inside another organism and harming it. The organism the benefits is called a parasite, and the organism it lives on or in is called a host. The paraite is usually smaller that the host. In a parasitic relationship, the parasite benefits from the interaction while the host is harmed. Unlike a predator, a parasite does not usually kill the organism it feed on. If the host dies, the parasite loses its source of food.


What is characterized by many different species of organisms with little or no succession?

Diverse and stable ecosystems with high species richness and low ecological succession.


What are the key differences in reproductive strategies between r-strategist and K-strategist species?

R-strategist species have many offspring with little parental care, while K-strategist species have fewer offspring with more parental care.


A species has homologous chromosomes. what does this say about the species?

It has pairs of matching chromosomes (APEX)


Both primary and secondary succession begin with pioneer species that?

Both primary and secondary succession begin with pioneer species that are able to colonize and establish in harsh environments with little to no soil. These pioneer species play a crucial role in breaking down rock or creating soil, which paves the way for other plant species to gradually establish and diversify the ecosystem.

Why do mutations that occur in the skin or nervous system tend to have little effect on the evolution of a species?

Most mutations that occur have a neutral effect, or none at all, so they would not affect evolution. Organisms with mutations that cause detrimental impact typically will not survive; therefore, they will not reproduce, and the mutation will not be passed on, so the species will not be affected overall. Beneficial mutations are typically the only mutations that will affect an organism's posterity and the evolution of its species, but good mutations are very rare. This is why most mutations have little effect on the evolution of a species.

What do you call the little house in which a birds are kept by man?

The little house in which birds are kept by humans is called a "birdcage." Birdcages are designed to provide a safe and comfortable environment for pet birds while allowing for visibility and interaction with their owners. They can vary in size and design, depending on the species of bird and the owner's preferences.
