When one species benefits but the interaction has little effect on the other species

b)

When two species behave in ways that benefit both

c)

When populations of two different species interact over a long period of time, leading to changes in the gene pool of one species

d)

When different species live together in a close relationship, which may be beneficial or harmful to one or both

10.

What is the difference between mutualism and commensalism?

a)

In mutualism, both species benefit, while in commensalism, one species benefits and the other is unaffected
