Name a reproductive strategy in which parasites take advantage of the care of other individuals of the same species or different species to raise their young.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Brood parasitism.
The reproductive strategy where parasites exploit the care of other individuals to raise their young is known as brood parasitism. In this strategy, the parasitic species lays its eggs in the nests of other species or individuals, leaving the host to incubate and care for the offspring. Notable examples include the cuckoo bird, which lays its eggs in the nests of other bird species, and certain species of ants and bees that employ similar tactics.
