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 (10[1])model. Entomophilous (“en-toh-MOFF-il-us”) examples of these structures co-evolved ultraviolet patterns to advertise themselves. (10[1])The ability to bear fruits (10[1])and these structures is shared by all angiosperms, (10[2])whose common (10[1])name references these structures.
