Both commensalism and parasitism are relationships that benefit at least one species. which of the following describes the effect on the other species in the relationship?

C) Commensalism has no effect on the species, while parasitism has a negative effect.

Explanation:

Commensalism and parasitism are both forms of species interaction.

Commensalism:

Commensalism refers to an ecological relationship between two species where one species benefits from the other but the other is neither harmed nor benefited. For example, remoras are little fish that attach to sharks and other larger fish. Remoras benefit in terms of protection, transport and food. They feed off scraps attached to the shark's mouth and teeth. However, the shark neither benefits nor suffers from this interaction.

Parasitism:

Parasitism is a relationship between a host and a parasite where the parasite benefits at the expense of the host. the parasite attains benefits while harming the host. For example, ticks and fleas that infest dogs. The ticks attain nutrients from the host's blood and in turn, weaken and harm the host.

introduction, methodology, results, discussion

step-by-step explanation:

an observational study is one which consists of actual observation to record data and then analyse the data.

there are a number of factors that should be analyzed before starting an observational study.

the main four factors are:

i) introduction:   this should be analysed to check whether the purpose of the study is correctly established and the data recorded are appropriate for the study

methodology:   the method of collecting the data, such as whether randomly selected, and whether sample size matches with the population to be studied, whether questions asked are easy to answer by common men, etc.

results: then results such as summary of data with comments should be studied thoroughly

discussion:   the last is the discussion, this can be either by management people or persons who are all interested , etc.
