Some species of orchids attract pollinating Hymenoptera (bees and wasps) with flowers that closely mimic the appearance of a female insect. As the male attempts to mate with the flower, he becomes loaded with pollen, helping the plant to reproduce. If one of these orchid plants acquired a loss-of-function mutation in a CYCLOIDEA-like gene, what do you predict might happen?  

A.  The mutation would quickly spread through the population. B.  The mutant plants would have fewer available resources to devote to nectar production. C.  The mutant plants would attract larger numbers of pollinating male insects. D.  The mutation would fail to spread in the population.
