Question

Responses


A. less competition for pollinators within the species

B. decreased self-fertilization, allowing for greater genetic variation

C. the flowers always having a pollinator

D. less competition for pollinators with other species

Answer 1

The best response to how a plant species would benefit from a pollinator that only visits the flowers of that plant species is:

C. the flowers always having a pollinator.

This implies that the plant can rely on a specific pollinator for effective reproduction, ensuring that its flowers are consistently visited and pollinated, which can enhance its reproductive success.
