The bullseye also absorbs UV radiation from the sun and protects the plant, similar to howmelanin in humans protects against sunburn.a. Many bees have UV light receptors in their eyes. Describe the advantage of this adaptation to the bee AND to the flower.b. Flowering plants that live in hotter environments tend to have larger UV bullseyes. In fact, some UV bullseyes are so large that the entire flower looksdark under UV light. Describe the tradeoff of having a large UV spot. Note that "tradeoff" means one advantage and one disadvantage.
