Question

Hello! I finished my questions for my assignment, and I wanted to ask if I got the correct answers. If I got a question(s) wrong, please tell me what question and explain what the correct answer is. Also, if I got the right answers for all my questions please tell me what I should add or change for any of my questions (if necessary). Thank you and have a nice day. (My answers are below, and picture is too) 1st answer - C, I think this is the answer because of the way the hairs go upward. The hairs on the 2nd drawing remind me of a parachute going upward. The first picture doesn't have any ¨hairs¨, so that isn't the best one that is adapted for seed dispersal by the wind. The second picture looks similar to my answer choice, C. However, it has little ¨hairs¨. After all, C looks the most adapted for seed dispersal by wind because it is fully surrounded by ¨hair¨. 2nd answer - A, I think this is the answer because it's the biggest onion bulb. Meaning that the (A) onion bulb has the greatest storage ability, which means it can store more nutrient reserves to ensure the plant's survival. This stored food will help plants to survive in unfavorable environmental conditions. 3rd answer - Butterfly A is most likely to survive. I know this because it has brightly colored wings, and it also has minics of eyespots on its wings. These eyespots scare predators away. Butterfly A´s wings can also assist in camouflage, which also is an adaptation to survive.
