The correct Answer is:
To determine how many of the given features are correct for bee-pollinated flowers, we will analyze each feature one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Colorful**: - Bee-pollinated flowers are typically colorful. Bright colors attract bees, which are visually oriented and are drawn to vibrant hues. - **Conclusion**: This feature is correct. 2. **Nectarless**: - Nectar is a key attractant for bees. Flowers that are pollinated by bees usually produce nectar to entice them. - **Conclusion**: This feature is incorrect. 3. **Fragrant**: - Many bee-pollinated flowers emit pleasant fragrances. This scent helps attract bees to the flowers for pollination. - **Conclusion**: This feature is correct. 4. **Ribbon-like pollen**: - Ribbon-like pollen is not typical for bee-pollinated flowers. Bees generally collect round or sticky pollen grains that can adhere to their bodies. Ribbon-like pollen is more suited for wind pollination. - **Conclusion**: This feature is incorrect. 5. **Feathery stigma**: - Feathery stigmas are adaptations for wind-pollinated plants, as they help capture pollen from the air. Bee-pollinated flowers do not require feathery stigmas. - **Conclusion**: This feature is incorrect. ### Summary of Features: - Colorful: Correct - Nectarless: Incorrect - Fragrant: Correct - Ribbon-like pollen: Incorrect - Feathery stigma: Incorrect ### Total Correct Features: - There are **2 correct features** (Colorful and Fragrant) for bee-pollinated flowers. ### Final Answer: The number of features that are correct for bee-pollinated flowers is **2**. ---
