Seeds Bright
If dandelions produce seeds asexually, then what is the point of the bright yellow flower?
I mean, a yellow flower Bright is supposed to attract insects for pollination. But dandelions do not need pollination to reproduce – which produce seeds asexually, offspring resulting clones of the mother. Will the flower be a remnant of its past evolution? or do some dandelions reproduce sexually?
Not all dandelions reproduce by apomixis, in fact, the raid (relatively recently) of the European Union dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) in Japan has resulted in hybridization with Asian dandelions, and shorter pollen tube produced by Taofen also means you can "lock" Native pollen and prevent fertilization. But I digress. Well, not really. This can be seen in their counterparts in some dandelion species reproduce sexually. So it's likely that reproduce sexually Taofen the past, but the ability of apomictic species to reproduce quickly and others of their species at all would be a great advantage over a distance long tasty flower planting of the asexual plant that would survive repsoducing. And there's a mutation and DNA transcription "errors" in meiosis can lead to differences between children and parents, even without sex.
