Question

What is mimicry ? Give one example of defensive mimicry in plant.

Answer 1

1) It means the close external resemblance of an animal or plant (or part of one) to another animal, plant, or inanimate object.

2) The defensive mimicry is specially performed by animals that have lots of predators, so their survival rates depend on avoiding their predators. Examples are: Batesian mimicry, Mullerian mimicry and Mertensian mimicry.
