Flowers of orchid species Ophrys bombyliflora look and smell like female bumblebees. This attracts the male bumblebees flying ne

arby to the flowers. Thus, pollen sticks to the head and abdomen of the bumblebee, which causes pollination. This orchid species is only pollinated by these bees, which is why the species is known as bumblebee orchids. What mode of evolution is represented by this example? A)Coevolution B)Punctuated equilibrium C)Adaptive radiation

I would say A) Coevolution because the two species would evolve in response to one another. Flowers and their pollinators must evolve together. For example, if the flower has a mutation that no longer attracts the bumblebees, it will not reproduce. Then the hummingbird would have to find a new food source.

Fossils of the same organism found in widely separate areas can tell scientists a lot about the ancient?
Levart [38]

Answer:

Ancient landmasses

Explanation:

The same fossils being found in widely separate areas can help scientists infer the geography of the continents of that time.

For example: Africa and South America used to be connected during the Permian Period.

Scientists can confirm this because both continents are home to similar fossils.

Drag each tile to the correct location on the table,
Tom [10]

Answer:

Mechanical Isolation

A snail with a flat disc-like shell

will not be able to mate with a

snail having a conical shell.

The reproductive organs of

male bush babies do not

match with the reproductive

organs of females of other

bush baby species

Behavioral Isolation

The mating call of a cricket is not

recognized by a cricket of other

species.

The signals sent by a male firefly

are not recognized by the female

firefly of other species.

Explanation:

Mechanical isolation occurs in the scenario where two organisms are willing to mate but cannot do so due to the physical challenges. As in the case of snail a flat disk and a conical disk snail are willing to mate but physical barriers restrict them in doing so.

The same case is with the male and female bush babies where the difference in reproductive organs does not allow them to mate.  

Behavioral isolation represents a scenario where two organisms are unaware of mating rituals, season, pattern or signals of each other and hence cannot mate.  

For example – male and female cricket do not recognize the mating call of each other. Likewise male and female firefly is also not able to understand each other’s mating signal.

All of the systems that are aroused by the <span>sympathetic nervous system</span> are relaxed by the parasympathetic nervous system. 
<span>autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a part of the central nervous system that controls all parts that the human cannot have a control on (which are done automatically) like heart rate and breath
ANS is divided in two opposite systems: sympathetic and parasympathetic:
</span>Parasympathetic nervous system: caracterized by the tag "<span>rest and digest" it decreases the heart rate, blood pressure, and breath. It increases the gastrointestinal motricity, letting the organism resting (this happen after a meal).
</span>Sympathetic nervous system: caracterized by the tag "fight or flight" it increases the heart rate, blood pressure, and breath. It decreases the gastrointestinal motricity, letting the organism focus on its environment (this happen when we are in danger).
