Name:Relationships aren’t always love-love in biology, nor are they always love-hate. Relationshipsamong organisms can take on many different meanings. Coevolution is the result of anassociation between two species in which they evolve together and develop such a closerelationship that one needs the other for survival. If both organisms benefit from therelationship, it’s called mutualism. If one benefits, and the other gets nothing, it’s calledcommensalism. However, if one organism benefits while the other is harmed, then therelationship is considered parasitism.To show your understanding of symbiotic relationships.Desperately seeking a parasitic relationship. I am a fleawith a thin body and springy legs who can jump 1,000 timesmy own body size!
