A plant species can benefit from a pollinator that only visits the flowers of that species through "decreased self-fertilization, allowing for greater genetic variation." This is beneficial because it encourages cross-pollination, which can lead to a more diverse gene pool and potentially enhance the plant's adaptability and resilience to environmental changes or diseases.
Specialization can be both limiting and beneficial. How would a plant species benefit from a pollinator that only visits the flowers of that plant species?(1 point) Responses the flowers always having a pollinator the flowers always having a pollinator decreased self-fertilization, allowing for greater genetic variation decreased self-fertilization, allowing for greater genetic variation less competition for pollinators within the species less competition for pollinators within the species less competition for pollinators with other species
