Pollination Flashcards
What is pollination
process when pollen is transferred from the anther to the stigma of the same or a different plant
What are the main pollination types
Self pollination, Cross pollination, Wind and insect pollination
What type of pollination produces similar offspring?
Self pollination
What is cross pollination?
process of genetic information of different plants combining
What is self pollination?
transfer of pollen grains from the anther to stigma of the same flower
Advantages of cross pollination
-species variety & diversity
What type of pollination is less resistant because of the variation in species types (adapt less to enviroment)
Self pollination
advantages of self pollination
-does not need to spend energy on attracting other pollinators
What pollination relies on existence of pollinators?
Cross pollination
What type of pollination relies on wind for fertilisation?
Wind pollination
What type of plants get fertilized by wind pollination?
wheat, rice, corn, oats
examples of self pollination?
orchids, sunflowers, peas, peanuts
examples of cross pollination in plants?
Apples, plums, pears, raspberries, blackberries
