Which type of association is found between the entomophilous flower and pollinating agent?
Correct answer: D. Co-evolution
- A. Mutualism
- B. Commensalism
- C. Cooperation
- D. Co-evolution
Explanation
Co-evolution can occur in any interspecific relationship like symbiosis or mutualism. The relation between an entomophilous flower and a pollinating insect shows co-evolved mutualism. In this, the plant depends exclusively on the insect for pollination and the insect relies on the plant for food.
