computer simulation of plant pollination involves 2 “parent” plants. However, in nature, plants most pollination would involve many plants randomly sharing pollen, depending on the pollinator. Using a living specimen would improve understanding because
Living models have variables that a computer model cannot account for.
Ecosystems are simple, and computer models are complex.
You will get the same results each time with a living model.
Computer models are not limited by “built in” parameters.
