Round 5: Tossup 20

Pseudocopulation with these structures is induced by Pouyannian mimicry, where these structures mimic a mate’s appearance. The development of these structures is described as the interaction of three groups of homeotic genes in the ABC model. Entomophilous (“en-toh-MOFF-il-us”) examples of these structures co-evolved ultraviolet patterns to advertise themselves. (-5[1])The ability to bear (10[1])fruits and these structures (10[1])is (10[2])shared by all angiosperms, whose common (10[1])name references these structures. (10[1])Hermaphroditic, or perfect, (10[2])examples of these structures contain both stamens and carpels. For 10 points, name these plant reproductive structures that attract pollinators with their colorful petals. ■END■ (10[1])

ANSWER: flowers [or blooms or blossoms; accept perfect flowers or hermaphroditic flowers; accept flowering plants; accept entomophilous flowers; prompt on petals until read; prompt on carpels until read; prompt on stamens until read]
