A) Shark and sucker fish?Commensalism
B) Red algae and fungi in lichens?Mutualism
C) Orchids growing on trees?Parasitism
D) Cuscuta (dodder) growing on other- flowering plants-Epiphytism
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Shark and sucker fish (Echenis) association is an example of commensalism (without continuous contact). By means of its dorsal fin, the sucker fish attaches to the underside of sharks and thereby secures scrap of food, wide geographical dispersal and protection. Red algae do not form mutual association with fungi. Orchids growing on a tree is an example of epiphyte. Cuscuta growing on other flowering plant is an example of parasitism.
