2.  A decrease in the biodiversity
3.  One of the five species becomes the apex predator
4.  All five species die

Identify the correct statements about symbiotic relationships:

I:  in a parasitic relationship, one organism is harmed and the other is benefited.
II:  coevolution is a feature of many symbiotic relationships.
III:  a relationship that appears to be commensalism may in fact be mutualistic or parasitic.
IV:  the most efficient type of parasite is one that kills its host.
 
1. I, II and III only 2. I, III and IV only
3. II, III and IV only 4. I, II, III and IV

Consider the following statements:

I:  When certain exotic species are introduced into a geographical area, they become invasive because the invaded land does not have its natural predators.
II:  Competition is best defined as a process in which the fitness of one species is significantly lower in the presence of another species.
III:   Biological control methods adopted in agricultural pest control are based on the ability of the predator to regulate the prey population.
