Question

Specialization can be both limiting and beneficial. How would a plant species benefit from a pollinators that only visit the flowers of that plant species? (1 point) 
A the flowers always having a pollinator
B less competition for pollinators within the species 
C decreased self-fertilization, allowing for greater genetic variation 
D less competition for pollinators with other species

GPT-4o mini · Answer

C decreased self-fertilization, allowing for greater genetic variation

This option highlights the benefit of having a specialized pollinator that can enhance cross-pollination, promoting genetic diversity within the plant species.
