Chapter 37.2, Problem 4LO
Summary Introduction
To define: Coevolution and give examples of ways that plants and their animal pollinators have affected each other’s evolution.
Concept introduction: The evolutionary adaptation in flowering plants promotes the specification and diversification of animal pollinators toward plant species. Specification and variations in floral traits played an important role in pollination and coevolution of pollinators.

In wild columbine, flower morphology encourages crosspollination. However, during the middle of the receptive period of the stigma, self-pollination can occur if the flower was not previously pollinated. If cross-pollination occurs after selfpollination, then that pollen reaches the base of the style before the self-pollen. Discuss the adaptive significance of this reproduction strategy.
Over evolutionary time, Yucca moths developed a specialist mutualism with Yucca plants. Select all
the statements that reflect EITHER costs or benefits of forming this specialist mutualism
The highly specialized relationship with Yuccas and Yucca Moths reduces potential competition with other
pollinators
The highly specialized relationship with Yuccas and Yucca Moths increases potential competition with other
pollinators
Yucca moths can become locally extinct if Yucca plants are removed or die
The fitness of Yucca plants would be dramatically reduced if a pesticide was sprayed killing Yucca moths

Is seed dispersal by ants an example of coevolution? Why or why not?

- One of the most striking examples of coevolution is between insects and flowers. The earliest angiosperms produced large amounts of pollen on flowers that were wind-pollinated. The ovules were partially exposed and exuded tiny droplets of sugary sap to catch passing pollen.

- Doug Schemske is a biologist who studies plants from around the world. Doug and his research team carry out experiments with the plant species Mouse-ear Cress, or Arabidopsis thaliana. They like this species because it is easy to grow in both the lab and field. Arabidopsis is very small and lives for just one year. It grows across most of the globe and in a wide range of latitudes and climates. Arabidopsis is also able to pollinate itself and produce many seeds, making it possible for researchers to grow many individuals to use in their experiments. Doug chose Arabidopsis populations in Scandinavia and the Mediterranean for his research on local adaptation because those two locations have very different climates. The populations may have adapted to have the highest survival and reproduction based on the climate of their home location. To deal with sudden freezes and cold winters in Scandinavia, plants may have evolved freeze tolerance traits, which produces chemicals that act like…arrow_forwardSexual reproduction in plants provides genetic variation. What are the benefits of this genetic variation? O If a population is presented with a rapid change in the environment or a chronic new pathogen or herbivore, then genetic variability would increase the chances of survival of the population. O Sexual reproduction produces less genetic variations which enables a population to co-evolve with other organisms in it's ecosystem. O Sexual reproduction reduces genetic variations which enables a population to take advantage of different resources in it's ecosystem enabling it to exist in a the same niche as others that use the original resources. O Sexual reproduction will always produce a more fit organism. A XE A AY9 Week9_ng....xlsx Week 9 Pre-lab.pdf 10.7591 978150...
