The relationship between clownfish and anemones is considered a mutualism. which of the following statements provides the best evidence for the relationship being a mutualism rather than another type of symbiotic association?

anemones can sting and consume fish that swim into their tentacles, but their stingers are repressed by chemicals secreted from the scales of clownfish.
clownfish are male at birth, then can become female and become more dominant later in their lives.
clownfish are protected by the anemone's tentacles and move water through the anemone, clean debris, and attract other fish that the anemone may eat.
multiple clownfish may live in a single anemone at one time, even though some anemones may only host a single clownfish.

A group association that may be helpful in generating a hypothesis about the relationship between fish consumption and coronary heart disease.

Explanation:

The scientific hypothesis explains about the reason and explanation of the particular phenomena. The hypothesis is mainly based on the environmental observations of the scientist.

While explaining the hypothesis about the particular relationship between two things, at least some group association is required. The group association is helpful in the observation and effect of the relationship between the individual. The fish consumption and coronary heart disease must be a group association for the hypothesis development.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Commercialism. The fish have protection from predators , so they benefit. The coral does not benefit from the fish though

sorry if my spelling is off

mutalism

Explanation:

mutualism

Explanation:

Mutualism is a type of symbiotic relationship between two organisms in which both benefit and neither is affected negatively in any way.

Mutualism can be in the form of resource-resource when it involves an exchange of resources between the organisms, service-resource when a resource is being swapped for a service or, service to service when it involves exchange of services between the two organisms.

In this case, the clownfish offers protection service to the sea anemone while the sea anemone in turn also offers protection to the clownfish. This is a service-service mutualism.

The answer is mutualism.

Mutualism is a relationship between two different species in which both species benefit. In clownfish - sea anemone relationship, the clownfish is protected from predators by the sea anemone, so the clownfish benefits from this relationship. The sea anemone gets more prey thanks to a coloration of the clownfish, so the sea anemone also benefits from this relationship. Since both species benefit, their relationship is an example of mutualism.

The answer to your question is cooperation.

The answer to your question is cooperation.

They have a mutualistic relationship

Explanation:

This relationship is mutualistic because they both benefit from each others presence. The clownfish is provided a safe home (the anemone does not kill them, as it does with other fish), and the anemone is protected from polyp-eating fish and has the algae removed from it by the clownfish.
