Question

In the DESERT BIOME, which of the following could be an example of commensalism?

A gopher snake occupies a burrow made by the desert rat.

Wasps lay eggs in the case of eggs laid by the praying mantis. When the wasp eggs hatch, the larvae feeds on the eggs of the praying mantis.

Answer 1

The answer is; A gopher snake occupies a burrow made by the desert rat

Commensalism involves a relationship between two organisms where one benefits while the other is unaffected. In this case, the gopher snake gets from the burrow made by the desert sake. The desert rat is unaffected (does not benefit or lose) by this action by the snake.
