The interaction between "Cuckoo and Crow" is an example for
- A competition
- B predation
- C brood parasitism
- D mutualism
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) brood parasitism
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(C) brood parasitism,
In brood parasitism the parasitic bird lays its eggs in the nest of its host and host incubates them. During the courses of evolution, the eggs of the parasitic bird have evolved to resemble the host's egg in size and colour to reduce the chances of the host bird detecting the foreign eggs and ejecting them from the nest.
