Give some examples of plants that use cross-pollination


Open in App
Solution

Pollination:

Pollination is a biological process that transfers pollen grains from an anther (a male flower component) to the stigma (female part of a flower).

Types: Pollination occurs in two ways:

  1. Self-Pollination
  2. Cross-Pollination

Pollination through cross-pollination:

  1. Cross-pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anthers of one plant's bloom to the stigma of another plant's flower of the same species.
  2. Wind, animals, and artificial pollination all transmit pollen grains.
  3. Because various flowers share and mix their genetic information to make distinct offspring, this sort of pollination increases genetic variety.
  4. Pumpkins, grapes, grasses, apples, maple trees, daffodils, and other plants are available.
  5. Flowers with chasmogamous petals allow for cross-pollination.
