Pollination of a flower takes place when?

Pollination occurs when the pollens from the anther of a flower is transferred to the stigma of the same or another flower. This is of two types- Self-Pollination(when the pollens from the anther of a flower are transferred to the stigma of the same flower or plant) and Cross-Pollination( when it gets transferred to the stigma of flower on another plant). Pollination is brought about by the help of various factors like insects, birds,wind, water.

What type of pollination in hibiscus?

Hibiscus plants can be both self-pollinating and cross-pollinating. They are primarily pollinated by bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, who transfer pollen between flowers as they feed on nectar.

What kind of pollination increases variation within a plant species?

Cross-pollination increases variation within a plant species by introducing new genetic material from multiple individuals. This leads to increased genetic diversity and the potential for beneficial traits to emerge through recombination.
