The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each of the provided options and determine if they are correctly matched. 1. **Co-evolution - Endoparasite and host**: - Co-evolution refers to the process where two or more species influence each other's evolutionary trajectory. In the case of endoparasites and their hosts, as the host evolves defenses against the parasite, the parasite may evolve mechanisms to overcome those defenses. This relationship exemplifies co-evolution. - **Conclusion**: This match is correct. 2. **Mutualism - Relation of plants and BGA (Blue Green Algae)**: - Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship where both species benefit. In this case, plants provide a habitat and nutrients to BGA, while BGA helps plants by fixing atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use. This relationship is indeed mutualistic. - **Conclusion**: This match is correct. 3. **Sexual deceit - shown by Opuntia plant**: - Sexual deceit refers to a strategy where a plant mimics the appearance or scent of a female insect to attract male insects for pollination. Opuntia, which is a genus of cacti, does not exhibit this behavior. Therefore, this option is incorrect. - **Conclusion**: This match is incorrect. 4. **Connell's elegant field experiment - Competition**: - Connell's experiments, particularly those involving barnacles, demonstrated the principles of competition and niche differentiation. His work showed how species compete for resources and how this affects their distribution. Thus, this option is correct. - **Conclusion**: This match is correct. After analyzing all the options, we find that the correct matches are: - i. Co-evolution - Endoparasite and host (Correct) - ii. Mutualism - Relation of plants and BGA (Correct) - iii. Sexual deceit - shown by Opuntia plant (Incorrect) - iv. Connell's elegant field experiment - Competition (Correct) The correct answer to the question is that options i, ii, and iv are correct, while option iii is incorrect. ### Summary of Correct Matches: - i. Co-evolution - Endoparasite and host (Correct) - ii. Mutualism - Relation of plants and BGA (Correct) - iii. Sexual deceit - shown by Opuntia plant (Incorrect) - iv. Connell's elegant field experiment - Competition (Correct) ### Final Answer: The correct answer is that options i, ii, and iv are correct.
