#7 A cuckoo bird lays its eggs in a warbler bird's nest. Once hatched, the cuckoo chicks displace the warbler chicks, tricking the parent warbler into caring for them over their own young. What type of ecological interaction does the cuckoo have with the warbler? a. Commensalism

b. Competition

c. Mutualism

d. Parasitism

Parasitism

Explanation:

Parasitism is a kind of interaction between organisms in which only one organism gains from the interaction. Usually one organism gains at the expense of the other organism.

In this case, the cuckoo bird gains at the expense of the warbler bird. The cuckoo bird lays its eggs in the warbler bird nest and also tricks the warbler bird to care for its young at the expense of the warbler bird's young.

This is parasitism.

an individual’s sex (i.e., whether they are a male or female) is determined by the sex chromosomes. most people have two sex chromosomes, one that is inherited from their mother and one that is inherited from their father. typically, females have two x chromosomes (xx) and males have one x chromosome and one y chromosome (xy). conditions caused by changes (“mutations”) in genes located on the x chromosome are considered x-linked.

x-linked recessive inheritance

most x-linked conditions are recessive. this means that in a person with two x chromosomes (most females), both copies of a gene (i.e., one on each x chromosome) must have a change or mutation whereas in a person with one x chromosome (most males), only one copy of a gene must have a mutation. a female with a mutation in one copy of a gene on the x chromosome is said to be a “carrier” for an x-linked condition. a male with a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome is typically affected with the condition. because females have two copies of the x chromosome and males have only one x chromosome, x-linked recessive diseases are more common among males than females. however, x-linked recessive diseases can occur in both males and females.

for x-linked recessive disorders, an unaffected carrier mother who has a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome can transmit either the x chromosome with this mutation or a “normal” x chromosome to her children. if the father is unaffected, none of her daughters will be affected and all of her daughters will be unaffected—since they will inherit at least one normal x chromosome from their father. however, each daughter will have a 50% chance of being an unaffected carrier like her mother and a 50% chance of both x chromosomes being normal.

you didn't give any options but heres what i can tell you: an inference is likely to change based on additional observations. the latter is something that you have seen or sensed using your sensory organs while the former is like a conclusion out from what you have observed.
