Question

In commensalism interspecific relationship:

Options

• neither species affects the other.

• favourable to both species.

• favourable to one but no affect on other.

• adverse effect on both species.

Answer 1

Favourable to both species.

Explanation:

In the commensalism interspecific relationship, one species benefits while the other species is not affected negatively, but may receive some benefit indirectly. Hence, the relationship is considered favorable to both species in some definitions, especially where the host species is neither harmed nor adversely affected, essentially benefiting the commensal without disadvantage to the other.
