Chapter 28, Problem 5FIB
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Symbiosis is a process that provides a close relationship between two species where both the species share habitats, means one can typically habitat on or in the other. Mutualism is one of the types of symbiotic relationship that benefitted both the members. Mutualism improves the fitness of both members.

The golden jackal is an organism in nature that follows a tiger to feed on leftovers from the tiger's kills. The tiger is unaffected by the golden jackal, while the golden jackal benefits by getting food from leftovers. This symbiotic relationship is called:
Mutualism
Parasitism
Facultative mutualism
Commensalism
To be considered biotic, an organism must meet several conditions for life
Viruses cannot be considered to be biotic because they do NOT:
1. Show a regulation of the internal environment (homeostasis)
2. Use/ process energy
3. Show adaptations to their environment or a response to their environment
4. Possess organization/order
I think my reasoning is wrong because I keep getting Italy as the answer choice. It seems odd to me that I got Italy three times. The other option is Burkina Faso. So, it is either Italy or Burkina Faso. Please carefully review my answer choices because I could be WRONG.
Richness refers to the total number of species of microbe in the gut microbe.
Italy, Europe seems to have greater gut microbe richness.
Diversity- It is the variety of species
Italy has a greater variety of species.
Evenness refers to the distribution of abundance across the species in the community.
Italy seems to have greater evenness as the species percentage is almost similar.
