Detailed explanation-1: -In a mutualism, two species have a long-term interaction that is beneficial to both of them (+/+ interaction). For example, some types of fungi form mutualistic associations with plant roots. The plant can photosynthesize, and it provides the fungus with fixed carbon in the form of sugars and other organic molecules.
Detailed explanation-2: -The term “symbiosis” includes a broad range of species interactions but typically refers to three major types: mutualism, commensalism and parasitism.
Detailed explanation-3: -Apparent competition is an indirect competition where the species do not directly compete, but they affect each other by being preyed on by a single predator. An example of an apparent competition is that of a hawk that preys on both squirrels and mice.
