Question

Mycohhroezais example of

• A. Antibiosis
• B. Mutualism
• C. Commensalism
• D. Parasitism

Hint:

In Mutualism, the interaction is obligatory or beneficial for both species. Other examples include Lichens (Algae and Fungi) and Fig trees and Wasps.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Mycorrhiza (misspelled as Mycohhroeza in the question) is a symbiotic association between a fungus and the roots of higher plants.
Step 2: The fungus helps the plant in the absorption of essential nutrients (like phosphorus) from the soil, while the plant provides the fungus with energy-yielding carbohydrates.
Step 3: Since both organisms benefit from this interaction (+/+), it is a classic example of mutualism.
