Liam wanted to understand how flower color affects the probability of successful pollination. He placed 15 artificial flowers of different colors (red, yellow, blue, white) in a garden, each filled with sugar water, and observed the number of bees visiting each color over a week.
Which flower color attracted the highest number of bee visits in Liam’s experiment?
Based on the experiment, explain how flower color influences the probability of pollination success by bees.
Why might bees prefer certain flower colors?
Explain how the relationship between bees and flowers is an example of mutualism.
If a new environment had mostly red flowers, how might this affect bee pollination rates?
How could flower color preferences in bees influence evolutionary changes in plant populations over time?
