Question

What are the two types of pollination?

Answer 1

Pollination:

1. During pollination, pollen grains are carried from a plant's male reproductive component, the anther, to the female stigma of a flower.
2. Some creatures, such as honey bees, birds, wind, and water, can enhance pollen grain transfer, and they are called pollinating agents
3. Pollination is divided into two types: self pollination and cross pollination.

Cross pollination:

1. Cross-pollination occurs when pollen from one flower is transferred to the pistils of another flower.
2. Insects and the wind are responsible for pollination in nature.
3. This procedure can be used to develop offspring with certain characteristics, like as color or insect resistance, by hand.
4. The development of new species can be from cross-pollination between two species or two variations of the same species. The seeds produced are many and copious.
5. Cross pollination is used to pollinate apples, pumpkins, daffodils, grasses, maple trees, and most floral plants.

Self pollination:

1. On rare cases, pollen can be transported from a flower's anther to the stigma of the same bloom, or to a genetically similar flower (as of the same plant or clone).
2. Self-pollination occurs when pollen grains from the anther are transferred to the stigma of another flower or a bloom on the same plant. Because genetic material from the same plant is used to make gametes and, eventually, the zygote, self-pollination results in plants with less genetic variety.
3. Self-pollinating plants include peanuts, wheat, apricots, rice, and tomatoes.
