Explain ans for ques no. 175
Q.175. Study the given diagram of a food web of a given terrestrial ecosystem. The arrows represent energy flow and the letters represent different species
In the above, if species D is distasteful to predators, which species is most likely to benefit from being a mimic of species D ?
(1) Species B
(2) Species A
(3) Species D
(4) Species C
Dear student
Please refer the solution below for the said query
The correct option is (1) Species B.
The species B and D have same predator i.e E. As species D is distasteful to predator (E), hence it will not be eaten.
Therefore, if species B mimics the D, then it will also not be eaten by species E and thus will be benefited.
Hope this information clears your doubt about the topic.
