The flower species have evolved to produce nectar that is tasty for the hummingbirds. This example is a type of . Cuckoos lay eggs in the nests of other birds. The cuckoo lays eggs identical to the eggs of the host species, so the other bird takes care of it. This is an example of .

Answer :

When a flower species has evolved to produce nectar in response to the evolution of the beaks of hummingbirds to allow them to drink nectar, we say that coevolution has occurred.

The example of a bird taking care of the cuckoo's eggs where the cuckoo lays its eggs in the nest of the other bird is an example of parasitism.

  • Coevolution occurs in organisms which interact with one another
  • In most cases, one of the species relies on the other for survival
  • So if one of the species undergoes a change, the other organism which relies on it also has to adapt and evolve to ensure its survival

  • In a parasitic relationship, one organism which is the parasite harms the other organism to the host
  • In parasitism, the parasite does not directly kill the host
