Answer:

d. Pollinators rely on the flowers for food and have to pollinate to survive

Explanation:

Insect pollination is more successful as compared to wind pollination which is completely a chance event. Insect pollinated plants have evolved several strategies to attract pollinators.

The co-evolution of insect-pollinated plants further ensures the mutualism between them. Pollinators derive their food from the flowers they visit in the form of nectar.

Due to their food requirements, insects visit the flowers and in turn pollinate them. If insects do not visit the flowers, they will face the food scarcity. To ensure food availability, insects visit the flowers and pollinate them.

adell [148]

Answer:

The males can only either be black or orange

Explanation:

There can be no male calico because for an offspring to be a calico the two codominant alleles must each be carried on the two X chromosomes and in the males, there is the presence of just one X chromosomes, thus they can either be black or be orange. For the females, the can only be black if they carry the black allele on both X chromosomes, the same goes for the orange.

In MendAliens, normal head top is dominant to Bart head top, in which the top of the head is jagged. Suppose a MendAlien homozyg

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

The genotypes of the two parents: normal head shape (HH) and Bart head shape (hh)

The genotypes in the F1 generation= Hh

The phenotypes present in the F1 generation= All normal head shape

Explanation:

Let's assume that the allele "H" is responsible for the normal head shape while the allele "h" gives Bart head shape. According to the given information, both the parents are homozygous. The genotype of the parent with normal head shape would be "HH" while that of the one with Bart head shape would be "hh". Since the normal head shape is dominant, all the F1 hybrid progeny would exhibit "normal head shape".
