Summary Introduction

Introduction: Different angiosperm plants have evolved according to natural selection and co-evolution with their pollination agents. The bright colored flowers attract animals, birds, and insects for the pollination. The presence of nectars attracts other kinds of animals, bees and other insects to pollinate these plants. The small, dull-colored flower which does not contain nectar is generally pollinated by wind.

As depicted in the diagram, honeybees communicate the location of flower patches to members of their hives with waggle dances that give information about the direction and distance to the flowers. Which of the following statements about how honeybees communicate the position of flower patches is most consistent with the model?   a. The total area covered by any waggle dance leads bees to the target flowers.   b. The farther the target flowers from the hive, the longer the waggle phase.   c. The angle of the waggle phase relative to the vertical plane indicates the position of the target flowers relative to another beehive.   d.The number of repetitions of the waggle dance indicates the quality of the pollen source.

Select one: a. Fertilization precedes pollinations. b. If fertilization occurs, pollination would be unnecessary. c. Pollination brings gametophytes together so that fertilization can occur. d. Pollination easily occurs between plants of different species.
