A. Batesian mimicry does not differ from Müllerian mimicry. Two different scientists discovered these two types at the same time, and they disagreed on what to call it. B. Batesian mimicry differs from Müllerian mimicry in that they occur on different continents-Batesian on the North American and Müllerian on the European. C. In Batesian mimicry the model must be more dangerous than the mimic; in Müllerian mimicry they are both dangerous. D. Batesian mimicry involves invertebrates; Müllerian mimicry involves vertebrates. E. In Batesian mimicry the model must behave differently than the mimic; in Müllerian mimicry they behave the same.
