Here is a photo of a bee pollinating a flower, an example of coevolution. Coevolution refers to the changes that occur within the genetic composition of two or more organisms that make them become dependent on one another. In this case, the bee has evolved to easily gather pollen and use the flower's pollen and nectar to feed its colony. In turn, the flower can spread its male gametes and reproduce faster via the bee as it visits other flowers. It has also evolved to develop unique characteristics that would attract more bees to it, like the bright colors this flower has.
