Question

44-47. Consider the following scenario: The presence of herbivores (caterpillar from the leaves that helps wasps locate the caterpillars, The wasps lay their eggs inside the caterpillars. The hatched wasp larvae consume the caterpillars, which can no longer eat the s) on a plant induces the release of volatile terpenes leaves of the plant. In addition to releasing terpenes, the enzymes in the caterpillar saliva activate inert chemicals in the leaf producing toxic cyanide, which kills most caterpillars except those expressing genes conveying resistance to cyanide. 44. The relationship between the caterpillar and the plant is best described as: competition consumer-resource mutualism commensalism 45. The relationship between the plant and the wasp is best described as: competition consumer-resource mutualism commensalism 46. The relationship between the wasp and the caterpillar is best described as: competition consumer-resource mutualism commensalism 47. The interplay between plant defenses and the caterpillar's offensive abilities exemplifies: evolutionary arms race resource partitioning c. competitive release sexual selection

Explanation / Answer

Because the relation between plant- herbivore or prey- predator is defined by term consumer resource.

Ans-45 the correct option is (c) i.e. mutualism

Because both of them are getting benefit from one other.

Ans-46 the correct option is (b) i.e. consumer resource
