Which of the following describes a relationship of parasitic oxpecker birds eat parts take ticks off the back of zebras a tick attaches itself to the skin of a dog and wolf catches a rabbit for a meal birds feed off the insects that are stirred up from grasses a scatter move through

The tick attaching itself to the skin of the dog is the parasitic relationship because the tick is relying on the dog as a host in order to live.

Firs of all, i'm very confused by how this questions is worded, but I will try my best.The relationship between the Ox-pecker birds and the zebras isn't an example of a parasitic relationship, because the Ox-pecker bird doesn't put the Host's (Zebra's)life at expense, and they both benefit from it which would be considered a mutualistic relationship. whereas a parasitic relationship is when one species or organism benefits while putting the other's life or health in expense, like a parasite, hence the name parasitic. A wolf catching a rabbit is simply a predator hunting prey. Meal birds feed off of the insects found on the grass, meaning they never really had a relationship. So you can cross those out, leaving us with the dog right? But why? A tick attaching itself onto the skin of the dog would be where the tick uses the dog to transport from several host's to another while using him as a source of food and home. The dog in this relationship, can retrieve a disease from the contact with the tick sucking blood from a sick or ill animal. This means, the tick takes advantage of the dog, like a parasite infecting the dog for it's own benefit. Therefore the situation in which a dog hitches a ride onto the dog is a parasitic relationship. Hope I could help!
