Vedclass · Answer

(B) The figure shows the Mediterranean orchid,Ophrys,which exhibits a special type of interaction known as 'Sexual deceit'.In this interaction,one petal of the flower resembles the female bumble bee in size,colour,and markings.This resemblance attracts the male bumble bee,which attempts to mate with the flower,a process known as 'pseudocopulation'.During this process,pollen grains are dusted on the male bee's body,which are then transferred to another flower when the bee visits it,thus facilitating pollination.The female bumble bee is not involved in this process at all; the interaction is specifically between the flower and the male bumble bee.Therefore,the statement that the female bumble bee is a critical link species for pollination is incorrect.
