Why did Gregor Mendel not pollinate the first generation pea plants?
Mendel allowed the offspring of his experimental plants to self-pollinate. That is, he allowed the male and female reproductive cells of the same plant to join and produce a seed. One of the characteristics of pea plants is that it is easy to cross different pea plants but, left to themselves, they self-pollinate with little chance of any accidental pollination between plants.

When are the anthers of one plant removed so it cannot self-pollinate?
Before dehiscence of anther lobes
What step did mendel take to sure that his peas plants did not self pollinate?
Mendel removed the anthers of one of the plants.
What insect pollinates African violets?
you can self pollinate them by taking the pollen from one flowers anther and sticking it to the tip of the stamen of a different flower.
What is the antonym of pollinate?
there is not one
The best definition of a true-breeding plant is one that?
self-fertilizes to produce offspring identical to the parent
Does a plum tree need to have another plum tree to pollinate each other in order to produce fruit?
Yes, plums need the correct pollinator. The right one depends on which variety you have.
How do peanut plants reproduce?
Plants that do not require external help to transfer their pollen are known as self-pollinating plants. Peanuts belong to this category and reproduce by dropping old flowers to the ground on growing old. These flowers release their pollen at sunrise and start fertilizing eventually.
How did Mendel cross pollinate flowers?
He took two pea plants, one from a set he knew were always tall and one from a set he knew were always short. He cut off the male reproductive organs off one of the pea plants and so he knew that the pea plant would for sure not self pollenate. He then took the pollen off the other plant and pollenated the first plant. after the plant created new seed, mendel planted them and Let them grow the fist generation of offspring were all tall. he then let the 1st set of offspring self pollenate and and the results were 3 tall and 1 short. from this he created mendels laws.
If one bee can pollinate 220 plants in 1 hour estimate how many plants 9 bees can pollinate in the same amount of time?
If one bee can pollinate 220 plants in 1 hour estimate how many plants 9 bees can pollinate in the same amount of time?
Do bees pollinate one flower and then return to previous flower to pollinate?
No. Bees go from flower to flower randomly.
What is the different between crosspollination and self-pollination in plants?
Cross Pollination is when the flower/plant is pollinated by other flowers/plants other then its self, unlike Self Pollination which ONE flower/plant can pollinate its self with out other flowers/plants, the more you learn in BIO the more you can see the hand of God in work!
