Bee orchids are flowering plants that look like they have a female bee resting on them. Bee orchids produce a scent that mimics hormones released by female bees. This scent attracts
male bees that are seeking a mate. When a male bee lands on the orchid, pollen becomes
stuck to the hairs on the body of the bee. The male bee then transfers the pollen to other bee
orchids.

How has this adaptation given the bee orchids a reproductive advantage?

The adaptation makes the orchids more desirable to bees, and therefore more likely to be able to reproduce than other plants without the adaptation.

Explanation:

"menstrual cycle is a complex cycle that consists of several processes. order of occurrence of steps in menstrual cycle are as follows:

1. high progesterone levels maintain the endometrium lining of the uterus.

2. endometrium lining breaks down and low levels of estrogen stimulate the pituitary to release fsh and lh.

3. fsh and lh stimulates the follicles to develop and the oocyte to produce estrogen.

4. rising estrogen levels suppress fsh production and development of other follicles.

5. a spike in lh causes follicle to rupture.

6. a breakdown of corpus luteum causes progesterone level to drop."
