Chapter 36, Problem 2WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The similarity and difference from a tropism in a plant and their examples.
Concept introduction:
Taxis are types of the innate behavior. In this type of behavior, there is a movement which is either towards or away from the stimulus. A reflex action is also a type of taxis movement. Tropism is turning of all or a part of any organism in a fixed direction. This movement of an organism is in the direction of the stimulus.

In the experiment conducted to test why individuals in the tree species Fuschsia excorticata retain flowers after they turn red even though the trees pollinate and offer a nectar reward only when flowers are green (Figure attached 10.28 first tested the 'pollinator-attraction' hypothesis that red flowers attract pollinators: once drawn to a tree, pollinators could forage on the green flowers still present, increasing overall pollination efficiency. Please assess the lowercase-Roman-numeral-labelled statements that appear immediately below and click the uppercase-letter-labelled response that appears below and conveys the most accurate information.
i. If the pollinator-attraction hypothesis were correct, then green flowers surrounded by red flowers should receive more pollen than should green flowers surrounded by only green flowers.
ii. The prediction in statement i could be tested by removing red flowers from some trees, forming one experimental group, and leaving red flowers on…
Plants and animals usually battle each other; describe why and how this occurs. Once animal-pollinated flowers evolved, a new type of plant–animal interaction was possible; describe it. How is it possible for a mutation in aplant to be beneficial for both the plant and for an animal?
