& Milk wood plants are essential for monarch butterfly survival. The butterflies drink the nectar from milkweed

flowers. The female monarchs lay their eggs only on milkweed plants, and the monarch caterpillars rely on the
milleweed plant as its primary food source. Milkweed produces a poisonous toxin that the caterpillars are able to
collect in specialized sacs, which in turn makes the caterpillars poisonous to predators. Milkweed plants are
pollinated by monarch butterflies as well as other insects. Which of the following best describes the resulting
daptations found in milkweed plants and monarch butterflies?
