Question

The Great Burdock plant’s seeds have spines on them that attach to the fur of animals that brush against it. The seed then travels with the animal until it eventually falls off, which spreads the plant’s seeds farther than the plant could have done. What type of symbiotic relationship is this?
a.
Mutualism
b.
Commensalism
c.
Parasitism
d.
Competition

Answer 1

B. commensalism

Answer 2

In ecology, commensalism is a class of relationship between two organisms where one organism benefits without affecting the other. It compares with mutualism, in which both organisms benefit, and Parasitism, where one benefits while the other is harmed.
but since the animal that brushes it doesn't get affected, then the right answer is commensalism.
