<h3>Small petals and sepals an advantage to these flowers:                                                                                                              </h3>
  • The flower petals and sepals are adaptations that attract pollinators.
  • Flowers that are 'pollinated by the wind' mostly have smaller sepals and petals as they do not have the need of attracting pollinators like insects, birds and bats.
  • In addition, it is possible that sepals and petals get in the track of pollen which might fly around in the wind. Also, it may "inhibit pollen" from "sticking" to the stigma.
  • Hence, wind pollinating plants comprise of small sepals and petals.

Why is fishing for some kinds of ocean fish controlled by laws?
lora16 [44]
C is the answer. Due to the current state of the world economy; people, if left to their own devices, would fish as much as possible so they can sell their fish to make money. Current technology means we can catch as many fish as we want (trawlers etc.). The problem with this is that there is only a finite amount of fish in the sea. If we were to fish them without limits in place, we could cause them to go extinct.
