There are two types of pollination, cross pollination and self pollination. self pollination occur when male part (androecium) of the flower of one plant pollinated on the female part (gynoecium) of the same individual. usually plant with self pollination will have characteristics like:
1. the anther and the stigma are matured at the same time - meaning the stigma are ready to receive the pollen grains at the same time as the anther mature to release it pollen grains.
2. the pollen grains and the stigma are compatible. (means stigma can accept the pollen grains-there is no rejection of pollen grains)
•Large,colourful petals.
•scented
•nectaries are present
•small, sticky stigma
•stamens are enclosed within the flower
•anthers are fused to their bases or along their backs to the filaments
•produces less pollen
Pollen grains are heavy, sticky and large
•complex flower structure.
Plants that are pollinated by the wind typically have small, unscented flowers. The anthers and stigmata generally protrude from the flowers to be exposed to the wind.
It is usually near enough the ground for the animals to rub against it.

To control the crossing of the traits.Because his experiments were aimed at what happened when you cross pollinated the plants with different characteristics. Self-pollination would have meant that his experiments would not have worked.
self pollinated
Mendel found that every fourth plant had white flowers when he allowed the first generation to self-pollinate. Gregor Mendel was a scientist who lived from 1822 to 1884.hyuyt6yt8
Cross pollination results in hybrid seed formation. Hybrids in general are vigorous than self pollinated plants due to additive gene action.
Gregor Mendel did his experiments because he was looking to see how genetics and heredity worked. He used pea plants because they bred true. He found that the taller plants all produced tall plants if they were self pollinated. If short plants were used and were cross pollinated, they would all be short.

Yes
self pollinated
Seeds to raise F1 generation

Grasses and grains are wind-pollinated, and plants are seed pollinated. There is a difference.

self pollinated
he used plants that were NOT true breeding!
plants with sticky stamen, flowers have nectories
