    Bitcoin is a currency and none of the currency depends on any other currency, but their strength is depended on its rate of adoption by the people and its regular circulation among the community. The more people accept it the more strength it adopt. So bitcoin is independent to altcoin or any othe crypto currency.

    That is true that bitcoin is independent from altcoin and bitcoin alone I think can survive as long as there are supporters who used it. Bitcoin,the father of all crypo's is the standard in cryptocurrency.But an altcoin,from its name alternative coin, is really an alternative one.

    Indeed,  bitcoin could  really stand alone  without  those alts  as you said   its the father  of all crypto and altcoin are  just dependent  in to  it, as you can see those altcoin could  only be exchanged  by bitcoin itself  these means  alts  are  just  alternative , the name  speaks  for itself. Same  as  you said.  Theres  nothing to worry  about  if  bitcoin   would be the  only  one   remains  without altcoins,as long  the adoption is there it wont die.

    Bitcoin is traded a lot against altcoins in many exchanges.
    If suddenly that demand would vanish, we would have an over supply of bitcoins on the market and that would lead us to a drop in the bitcoin price.
    Of course bitcoin could survive that scenario, since it pulls its strength out if the infrastructure built around bitcoin, but it would not be pleasent.

    Good way to think, actually we can see a lot of daily traders, long term investors and for sure "all" this money have bitcoin in the middle.
    How it affect bitcoin price?
