Q: What is the correct answer for CUET UG Biology Q11?

The correct answer is a. Let's match each ecological interaction from List-I with its example from List-II: (A) **Mutualism:** Both interacting species benefit. **Lichen** is a classic example, where a fungus and an alga (or cyanobacterium) live in a close symbiotic relationship, both benefiting. So, (A)-(IV). (B) **Commensalism:** One species benefits, while the other is neither harmed nor helped. The interaction between

Let's match each ecological interaction from List-I with its example from List-II:
(A) **Mutualism:** Both interacting species benefit. **Lichen** is a classic example, where a fungus and an alga (or cyanobacterium) live in a close symbiotic relationship, both benefiting. So, (A)-(IV).
(B) **Commensalism:** One species benefits, while the other is neither harmed nor helped. The interaction between **Sea anemone and Clown fish** is an example, where the clown fish gets protection from predators by living among the anemone's stinging tentacles, while the anemone is unaffected. So, (B)-(III).
(C) **Brood Parasitism:** A type of parasitism where one organism (the brood parasite) exploits another (the host) to raise its young. The **Crow and Cuckoo** relationship is well-known, where the cuckoo lays its eggs in the crow's nest. So, (C)-(II).
(D) **Competition:** Occurs when two or more organisms require the same limited resources. The extinction of the **Abingdon tortoise in Galapagos Island due to the introduction of goats**, which competed for the same grazing resources, is a classic example of interspecific competition. So, (D)-(I).
Combining these matches, we get: (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I), which corresponds to option (a).
