NEET Botany (general) Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Mutualism (i) Cattle egret and grazing cattle (b) Commensalism (ii) Pollination and seed dispersal (c) Predation (iii) Starfish and invertebrates (d) Competition (iv) Species fitness reduction
Choose the correct matching:
a-ii, b-i, c-iii, d-iv
a-i, b-ii, c-iv, d-iii
a-ii, b-iv, c-i, d-iii
a-i, b-iii, c-ii, d-iv
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Mutualism involves relationships where both species benefit, such as pollination and seed dispersal. Commensalism is exemplified by the interaction of cattle egrets with grazing cattle, where one benefits without harming the other. Predation involves a predator reducing the prey population, and competition can lead to a decrease in species fitness when different species are present.
