Predation is an interspecific interaction in which one species benefits by eating another. Potential prey organisms have various adaptations that allow them to avoid or escape predators. The following examples demonstrate either mimicry, camouflage, mechanical defense, chemical defense, or schooling. Sort the examples based on the type of predator avoidance they demonstrate.

Answer:

Please find the detailed examples in the explanation section below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mimicry: The semblance between hornet moth(harmless) and paper wasp(venomous) is a striking example.

Camouflage: A fish assumes the colour, form and texture of the sea it can be found.

Mechanical defense: example is the rosebush thorns, cow's horns, the shell behind the snail, the carnassial teeths of the dogs.

Chemical defense: jimsonweed toxins is a prominent example.

Schooling: flock of snow geese, flock/herd of sheep, are among the foremost examples.
