Sagot :

1. Mutualism is a type of relationship that can be seen between two individuals of two different species to obtain benefits for both of individuals.

Examples : Coral polyps and zooxanthellae
                   bee and flower
                   Lichens
                   Rhizobium and root nodules

Examples : Cuscuta (parasite) and angiosperms (host)
                    Parasitic viruses (parasite) and human (host)
                    Tape worms (parasite) and pigs (host)
                    Flukes (parasite) and human (host)
