Answer:

The orchid might produce pheromones that resemble female wasp pheromones.

Explanation:

Orchids are a large family of flowering plants. Some orchids developed a great technique of pollination. They resemble and stink like female insect for example like female wash which attracts male wasp towards them.

So attracted by pheromone released by orchid, male wasp try to copulate with the orchid flower and in that process pollen of that orchid stick on the male wasp and when the same wasp goes to next flower it transfers the pollen of one orchid to other orchid. So this helps in pollination in some orchids.

Therefore pheromones produce by orchid which resembles pheromones produced by female wasp might be the reason of visiting of only male wasp on flower of these orchids.

siniylev [52]

Answer:

Spinous process

Explanation:

The rhomboideus minor muscle originates on the <u>spinous processes</u> of vertebrae T2-T5

The rhomboideus minor muscle forms part of the superficial group of back muscles. The muscles in the superficial group are immediately deep to the skin and superficial fascia. They attach the superior part of the appendicular skeleton (clavicle, scapula, and humerus) to the axial skeleton (skull, ribs, and vertebral column).

These muscles are sometimes referred to as the appendicular group, since they are primarily involved with movements of part of the appendicular skeleton.

The rhomboideus minor is located deep to the trapezius in the superior part of the back. It inserts on the medial border of the scapula, is innervated by the dorsal scapular nerve its function is to adduct and elevate the scapula.
