Question

flowers of orchid species ophrys bombyliflora look and smell like female bumblebees. this attracts the male bumblebees flying nearby to the flowers. thus, pollen sticks to the head and abdomen of the bumblebee, which causes pollination. this orchid species is only pollinated by these bees, which is why the species is known as bumblebee orchids. what mode of evolution is represented by this example?

Answer 1

Coevolution in light of the fact that the two species would advance because of each other. Blossoms and their pollinators must advance together. For instance, if the blossom has a change that never again draws in the honey bees, it won't recreate. At that point the hummingbird would need to locate another sustenance source.

Answer 2

The correct answer is adaptive radiation. This is a process in which all the organizams diversify rapidly from an ancestral species into a multitude of new forms. This process is happens more frequently when there is a change inthe environment, which makes new resources available
