A botanist working in the Amazon rain forest discovers a new species of orchid. Interestingly, males, but not females, of a certain wasp species keep visiting the flowers of these orchids. Why?
Answer: The newly found orchid species is Dioecious
Explanation:
Definitely, the new orchid species has female and male reproductive organs on the different plants (though of same species), thus the MALE wasps are attracted to it in order to aid POLLINATION by:
- transferring the already collected pollen grains collected from the anther of its male reproductive organs on another plant of the same species located in a different location.
