A tomato breeder has noticed that a hybrid is not attracting pollinators to its flowers. What genetic change may have occurred in this hybrid? What does that mean for the long-term survival of the hybrid?

A genetic change resulted in a change in nectar or pollen, flower odor, or flower color. The long-term survival of the hybrid is threatened because it will be unable to reproduce.
