Identify the incorrect statement:
Show Hint
- Both the species are benefitted in mutualism
- Both species are not benefitted in parasitism
- Both species get harm in competition
- One species is benefitted and the other is neither benefitted nor harmed in commensalism
The Correct Option is B
Approach Solution - 1
Clarifying ecological relationships. Mutualism describes interactions where both species benefit. In parasitism, one species benefits at the cost of the other, which is harmed (not unbenefitted as implied). Competition generally results in harm to both species due to resource scarcity, and commensalism benefits one without affecting the other.
Therefore, the statement about parasitism is incorrect as it mischaracterizes the relationship.
Approach Solution -2
To solve this problem, we need to identify the incorrect statement related to various ecological interactions between species.
1. Understanding the Types of Interactions:
Let's evaluate the different types of ecological interactions mentioned in the options:
- Mutualism: In mutualism, both species benefit from the interaction. Therefore, the statement "Both the species are benefitted in mutualism" is correct.
- Parasitism: In parasitism, one species benefits at the expense of the other. Therefore, the statement "Both species are not benefitted in parasitism" is incorrect because in parasitism, only one species benefits while the other is harmed.
- Competition: In competition, both species harm each other as they compete for the same resources. Therefore, the statement "Both species get harm in competition" is correct.
- Commensalism: In commensalism, one species benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed. Therefore, the statement "One species is benefitted and the other is neither benefitted nor harmed in commensalism" is correct.
2. Conclusion:
The incorrect statement is "Both species are not benefitted in parasitism," as parasitism benefits one species at the cost of the other.
Final Answer:
The correct answer is Option B: "Both species are not benefitted in parasitism."
