    • What is co-evolution?
      Process where species evolve in response to each other
    • How does a change in one species' traits affect another species in co-evolution?
      It acts as a selection pressure on the other
    • What is symbiosis?
      Co-evolved intimate relationships between members of two different
      species.
    • What is mutualism?
      Both organisms are interdependent for resources
    • What is the interaction outcome of mutualism?
      (+ / +) both organisms benefit
    • What is parasitism?
      Parasite benefits while host is harmed
    • What is the interaction outcome of parasitism?
      (+ / -) parasite benefits, host harmed
    • What is commensalism?
      One organism benefits, the other is unaffected
    • What is the interaction outcome of commensalism?
      (+ / 0) one benefits, one unaffected
    • What is a parasite?
      Organism that lives on or in a host and benefits on the expense of the host.
    • What is a host?
      Organism that a parasite lives on or in and is harmed by the parasite
    • What does The Red Queen Hypothesis state?
      In a co-evolutionary relationship, change in traits of one species acts as selection pressure on the other species.
    • How does The Red Queen Hypothesis relate to parasite and host relationships?
      Species must adapt to avoid extinction
    • Why do humans need a different influenza vaccination each year?
      Both organisms constantly evolve to outdo each other
