Question

examine the image shown here. These two species shown are pollinators and the flowering plant that they feed upon. Which statements accurately describe the interaction between these two groups?



A)Natural selection put pressures on the pollinator to increase its fitness over generations.

B)Heterozygote advantage provided a mechanism for species to become better fit for within their environment.

C)Convergent evolution caused the proboscis of the pollinator to mechanically fit with the flower of the other species.

D)The pollen of one species increased the mutation rate of the pollinator species so that they were more adapted to their flower.

E)Coevolution provided a mechanism for these two species to put selective pressures on each other to shape the pollinator structures.

Answer 1

Coevolution refers to the existing relationship between two species, and the selective pressures that each of them imposes on the other. These pressures result in both species evolving together in the same direction.

------------------------------------

• When the interaction between two species is so strengthened that each population exerts a selective strength over the other one, simultaneous adjustments occur, resulting in Coevolution.

• Coevolution is the biological relationship existing between two or more species that interact and adapt to each other.

• Coevolution is the mechanism by which coadaptation can be explained.

• Coadaptation refers to reciprocal genetic changes in species that interact.

• This is due to the selective pressures that each of them imposes on the other. Coadaptation is what can be seen or observed.

• For coevolution to exist, there must be phenotypic variation and heritability. Coevolution can be specific or diffuse.

• Specific or strict coevolution involves two species in interaction in which the evolution of each one responds to selective pressures applied by the other species.

The correct option is E) Coevolution provided a mechanism for these two species to put selective pressures on each other to shape the pollinator structures.
