Question

3. Every species of fig has its own species of fig wasp to pollinate its flowers. Without the fig wasp, there would be no fig seeds. Without the fig, the wasp could lay no eggs. What is the relationship between these two organisms?

Answer 1

Answer:

obligate mutualism

Explanation:

A type of mutualism in which the species involved are in close proximity and interdependent with one another in a way that one cannot survive without the other.

Answer 2

The relationship between the fig wasp and the fig tree as described in the illustration would be symbiosis.

A symbiotic relationship is a form of mutualistic relationship between two organisms in which both of them benefit.

The fig wasp benefits the fig tree by helping with the pollination of their flowers. Without pollination, fertilization and seed production become impossible.

The fig tree, in return, benefits the fig wasp by providing a conducive environment for egg-laying. Without this environment, the fig wasp cannot lay eggs and the population of fig wasp will dwindle.
