3. Some plants have brightly-colored flowers and nectar (a sugary liquid). Do these increase, decrease, or have no effect on the probability of successful reproduction? Why?
1 answer
These features increase the probability of successful reproduction because they attract pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, which are necessary for the plant to reproduce. The bright colors and sweet nectar of the flowers act as a signal to the pollinators that the plant is a good source of food.
