They can't.
This is because their pollen cells have different numbers of chromosomes, and therefore reproduction cannot occur.
In order for flowers to breed, the pollinator must have the same number of chromosomes in its pollen cells as the flower receiving the pollen.

∙ 14y agono, cross pollination is the result of the fusing of a single sperm cell (in a pollen grain) with a single ovule. Cross pollination is the result of the fusing of gametophytes from two (only) separate plants.
However it is possible for different ovules (within the ovary of one plant) to fuse with the pollen produced in several different anthers (pollen produced on different plants), but the pollen grain can only fuse with a single ovule.

∙ 9y agoA flowering plant certainly can have more than one pollinator. In fact most flowering plants have many pollinators that pollinate them.

∙ 14y agoNo. Flowers can only pollinate other flowers within the same species. There can be cross-pollination between different varieties of the same species, giving a hybrid.

∙ 13y agoNo it cannot be done because then the anther will not be able to fertilize the stigma

∙ 10y agoyes it can happen in both situations.

What is Co-evolution of flowers and pollinators?
Coevolution with flowering plants and pollinators is when an insect, aka a pollinator, evolves to fit the plant.
Are all pigments found in plants involved in photosynthesis?
No. All pigments found in plants are not involved in photosynthesis. In fact, the greatest variety of colored pigments are found in flower pedals and are used to attract pollinators among other things.
Why do many plants have specialized cells that produce strong odorsAsk us anything?
Some plants produce strong odors in order to attract pollinators.
How are angiosperm and its pollinators mutually rewarded by their relationship?
The angiosperms are pollinated and the pollinators get what they need. An example is honey bees, which pollinate flowers and also get what they need to make their hives.
Do dandelions need sunlight?
All green plants need sunlight to produce food. Dandelions are green plants.
What do flowering plants depend on?
Pollinators
How does pollinators affect plants?
They don't
What helps attract pollinators?
Pollinators such as bees, butterflies and other insects or birds are attracted to the colors and smells of certain flowers. During the feeding process cross pollination occurs.

Sinces theres chloroplast in all plants and chloroplast makes plants green why are most flowers different color and what does the flowers that color?
to attract pollinators mostly
What are facts about the water lily?
Water lilies provide food for fish. They need pollinators to make seeds. Water lilies are perennial plants.
What incentive do plants give insects animals for pollination?
Also most plants have “rewards” for its pollinators like nectar or perfumes, but some plants trick its pollinators into thinking they will get something, for instance some flowers trick their pollinator into thinking that it is a female of its kind and that they want to mate with them. So when they will try to mate with the flower pollen will get all over their head.
What would a world without pollinators be like?
With out pollinators is what makes r world go round. We need them
What type of symbiotic relationship is seen when ladybugs fill the role of plant pollinators?
Plants and their pollinators form a mutualistic relationship, a relationship in which each benefits from the other.
Why is bee the most important animal in the world?
I'm not sure it is the most important, but it pollinates an enormous number of flowering plants. Without pollinators wild flowering plants would die off in a generation. However there are many other pollinators, including birds, man, etc. so not all flowering plants would go extinct without bees.
