What else can I help you with?
In cross pollination the pollen grains are carried from flower to flower by what?
usually insects
Sperm contained in pollen grains are primarily transferred to an egg by?
Pollen is carried on the stamen of the male flower and has to be deposited on the stigma of a female flower to fertilise it.
What happens to pollen?
Think of pollen as a flower's sperm. It's carried, be it by water, air, or animal, to a different flower, where it is recieved. That other flower makes seeds which are then carried to a different location, planted, and grows into a new flower. So, pollen helps make baby flowers.
What is the defference between self and cross pollination?
Self pollinationWhen pollen grains from a flower are carried to the stigma of the same flower or on the other flower of the same plant, the phenomenon is called self pollination.Cross pollinationWhen the pollen grains from a flower are carried to the stigma of the flower on other plant, the phenomenon is called cross pollination.
What is the male sex cells of a flower that can be carried by the wind?
The male sex cells of a flower that can be carried by the wind are pollen grains. These pollen grains are produced in the anthers of the flower and are dispersed by the wind to reach the female reproductive organs of other flowers for pollination.
What are 3 ways pollen can be transferred?
The method of pollen transfer from one plant to another depends on e species of plant, and the structure of the flower. One of the most common ways pollen can get from one flower to another is to be carried by insects, most commonly bees, or birds. Sometimes pollen can brush off onto the fur of a passing mammal. Wind can also be a strong factor in the dispersal of pollen.
What is the pollenation for on a flower?
Pollination is the transport of pollen from the anther onto the stigma of the flower. Pollination can be carried by insects, other animals and wind.
How do bees carry pollen?
Bees collect pollen on their hairy bodies as they move from flower to flower. The pollen sticks to their bodies and is then carried back to the hive in special pollen baskets on their hind legs. This pollen is used as food for the bees and to help pollinate other flowers.
Is the Anther part of the flower sticky?
Anthers are the male reproductive parts of a flower that produce and release pollen. Anthers are typically not sticky; they release pollen to be carried by wind, insects, or other means to reach the female reproductive parts of the flower for pollination.
What will happen ifan insect crawls into a flower and then goes to another?
If an insect crawls into one flower and then goes to another they are likely to pollinate the second flower that they visit. Pollen tends to stick to insects and be carried from flower to flower.
What does catch pollen from insects or the wind?
Plants with sticky stigmas catch pollen from insects, as the pollen adheres to the stigma when the insect visits the flower. Plants with feathery stigmas catch pollen from the wind, as the lightweight pollen grains are carried by the wind to land on the stigma.
How does the male part of a flower get to the female part?
It does by wind or pollination. The pollen is carried when the animal drinks the nectar, then it sticks onto the pistil when the animal lands on another flower.
