Question
specialization can be both limiting and beneficial. how would a plant species benefit from a pollinator that only visits the flowers of that plant species? (1 point)
less competition for pollinators within the species
less competition for pollinators with other species
decreased self - fertilization, allowing for greater genetic variation
the flowers always having a pollinator
A pollinator that only visits the flowers of a specific plant species means other plant species cannot use that pollinator. So, the plant species has less competition for pollinators with other species. Self - fertilization isn't directly related here, and there's no guarantee the flower always has a pollinator. Competition within the species isn't reduced.
