Examine the image shown here. These two species shown are pollinators and the flowering plant that they feed upon. Which statements accurately describe the interaction between these two groups?
Responses
A Natural selection put pressures on the pollinator to increase its fitness over generations.

B Heterozygote advantage provided a mechanism for species to become better fit for within their environment.Heterozygote advantage provided a mechanism for species to become better fit for within their environment.
C Convergent evolution caused the proboscis of the pollinator to mechanically fit with the flower of the other species.Convergent evolution caused the proboscis of the pollinator to mechanically fit with the flower of the other species.
D The pollen of one species increased the mutation rate of the pollinator species so that they were more adapted to their flower.

E Coevolution provided a mechanism for these two species to put selective pressures on eac
h other, leading to adaptations that benefit both parties.
