Q.

Which one of the following is an appropriate example of sexual deceit?

  1. A

    Female wasp and fig

  2. B

    Ophrys and bumblebee

  3. C

    Sea anemone and clown fish

  4. D

    Cuckoo and crow

Solution

The interaction between Ophrys (an orchid) and the bumblebee is the classical example of sexual deceit, where the orchid mimics a female bumblebee to attract males for pollination.

Female wasp and fig → mutualism; sea anemone and clown fish → commensalism; cuckoo and crow → brood parasitism.
