Which among the following is the most common method of pollination in flowers without petals?

[A] Wind
[B] Water
[C] Insects
[D] All of above

Which most correctly describes the process of pollination in flowering plants?

Here is a quote by Rolf Hoekstra. Explain in detail why he makes such a claim.

“In a world without sex there would be no males and females. No flowers, no insects specialized in pollinating them, no extravagant colour and form like the peacock’s tail; and much animal behaviour would not exist.”

Data Set 3

An entomologist was interested in the species of insects which pollinate flowers. She selected two plant species, annual sunflowers and blue sage. In addition to the difference in color, sunflowers have a broad open flower (actually a cluster of many tiny flowers) while blue sage is a smaller, more tubular flower. She then recorded the type and number of insects which visited the flowers of each plant species. Rather than report individual species, she decided to group the insects by family and report the number of visitations by all species of the same family as a percentage of the total number of visitations. Her data is listed below.

Hint: you might want to present this data as 2 separate graphs.

Which insect family serves as the most important pollinator both for sunflower and sage?

Which insect family has the greatest difference in visitation percentage between sunflower and sage?

Based on this data and other knowledge you have about different insects, formulate a hypothesis to explain why different types of insects visit flowers at different frequencies.
