You are examining a population of snails in their naturally varying habitat (including parasites) in the wild. You manipulate the population to include a greater proportion of asexually reproducing individuals, although there a few sexually reproducing individuals still remaining. The parasite populations peaked in abundance in the following year. What would you expect to see in the population after returning a year later?

	a.	There would be only asexually reproducing individuals.
	b.	There would be more sexually reproducing individuals.
	c.	There would be no change in abundances from the initial manipulation.
	d.	There would be an even number of sexually and asexually reproducing individuals.

Definition Definition Organism that lives in the body of another organism and obtains food at the expense of the host. A parasite can directly or indirect harm the host. There are two kinds of parasites: internal and external. An internal parasite lives inside another organism and is known as an endoparasite. An external parasite lives on the body surface of the host and is known as an ectoparasite. Protozoa and helminths are examples of major human parasites.
