habitat. They are likely to be in close proximity and this interaction could either be harmful or helpful to each organism. When the interaction is beneficial‚ it is considered to be mutualism‚ either being obligate or facultative. However‚ interactions between different species may take different forms‚ such as commensalism‚ parasitism‚ amensalism etc. Competition often results in reduced growth and/or lower seed production of one or both individuals or species when compared to the yield of either when

The basis of mutualism is the idea of reciprocity. This traditional assumption is tested in this new study that examines the relationship between Oxpeckers and large mammals in Oxford‚ Ohio. In this study done by Miami University Professor of Biology Dr. David Russell he divides cattle into two groups; one group has the presence of Oxpeckers the other has the absences‚ in order to test the amount of tick loads—a food source to the Oxpeckers—that is found on the cattle after a month. He performs this

paratism. The spongillafly lays its eggs on the sponge‚ and then they hatch and feed off the sponge. Another parasite is the flatworm. It resides in organisms such as the snail and can infect them with deadly diseases. There are also examples of commensalism in this biome. First is the relationship between small fish and the pond weeds; the fish hide between these weeds from larger fish. Another relationship of this type is the one between oysters and the mangrove trees. The oyster anchor and protect

The water is an abiotic factor but helps the western firn grow by putting good nutrients into the soil. This is a commensalism relationship because the western firn doesn’t affect the water but the water affects the firn positively. Redwood Sorrel (oxalis oregana) is a very common plant in the redwood forest. It is commonly mistaken for a closer although it isn’t.

Genetics: the science of heredity that includes the study of what genes are‚ how they carry info‚ how they are replicated and passed to subsequent generations of cells or passed between organisms‚ and how the expression of their info within an organism determines the particular characteristics of that organism. Genome: the cell’s genetic information that includes it’s plasmids and chromosome. Chromosomes: structures containing DNA that physically carry hereditary info‚ contain the genes Genes:
