Question
some flowering plants are pollinated by honeybees. at some time in the past, honeybees evolved the ability to see ultraviolet radiation. some flowers have evolved to produce ultraviolet markers on their petals that direct honeybees to the reproductive parts of the flower. what is this an example of?
mutualism
commensalism
predation
coevolution
Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship where both species benefit. Commensalism is when one benefits and the other is unaffected. Predation is one - organism consuming another. Coevolution is when two or more species influence each other's evolution. Here, honeybees evolving to see UV and flowers evolving UV markers is a case of species influencing each other's evolution.
