Read the following statements regarding the interaction between the Yucca plant and a species of moth. Which of the following statements is biologically correct according to their mutualistic relationship?

Step-by-step solution

In the mutualistic relationship between the Yucca plant and the moth, both species are obligately dependent on each other and cannot complete their life cycles independently. The moth deposits its eggs in the locule of the ovary (not the mature fruit), and in turn, the flower gets pollinated by the moth. The larvae of the moth come out of the eggs and feed on the developing seeds, not the pollen grains. Answer: The moth deposits its eggs in the locule of the ovary and the flower gets pollinated by the moth.
