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.

solmaris [256]
Homeostasis is a self-regulating technique by which systems in the body maintain stability and tend to adjust to optimal conditions which are essential for survival. Thereby, the role of homeostasis is to help the body maintain constant internal environment. A good example of homeostasis would be ‘drinking excess alcohol causes vomiting’.

This condition is also known as nearsightedness:
Contact [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Myopia is also known as nearsightedness.

Explanation:

Myopia is a refractive defect of the eye in which parallel light rays converge at a focal point located in front of the retina, instead of converging on the same retina; it is the inverse defect to farsightedness, in which the light rays reach the retina before converging.

A person with myopia has difficulty focusing well on distant objects, which causes visual acuity deficits and can also lead to headaches, strabismus, visual discomfort and eye irritation.
