Following their respective breeding seasons, several species of hummingbirds occur at the same locations in North America and several hummingbird flowers bloom simultaneously in these habitats. These flowers seem to have converged to a common morphology and color. Birds are most visually sensitive to the color red. Hummingbird flowers are pollinated by hummingbirds. Which of the following features of these flowers would indicate they have coevolved with hummingbirds? (Check all that apply.)A) Long tubular flowersB) Flowers are colored violet and blueC) Blooming time of the flowers coincides with the arrival of the hummingbirdsD) Flowers produce a high volume of nectar and sugarE) Flowers are low to the ground
