Question

Between which among the following, the relationship is not an example of

?

Options

• Cattle egret and grazing cattle

• Sea anemone and clown fish

• Female wasp and fig species

Answer 1

Female wasp and fig species

Explanation:

Among the examples given, the connection between a female wasp and a fig species does not demonstrate commensalism. In commensalism, one species benefits while the other is neither injured nor benefitted.
Mutualism is demonstrated by the wasp and the fig tree. Wasps pollinate the fig bloom, and the female wasp lays her eggs in the fig fruit. Both creatures profit from this method. Other possibilities demonstrate commensalism.
