Why are certain plants and their flowers/fruit different colors? Sounds like a dumb question but do different pigments/colors give any potential benefits like increased sunlight absorption or anything of that aspect?
In: Biology
That’s mostly an example of co-evolution. The colours and patterns of flowers evolved together with the insects pollinating them. The insects get a signal of “here there is food”, and the plant can be sure that it gets insects which will spread its pollen.
