Tobacco plants can self-pollinate. The plants, however, like other organisms, make an effort to mix their genes with an unrelated mate to get variations that could improve their survival rate. They do this by encouraging birds and insects to taste the nectar from many different tobacco plant flowers.

What do pollinated plants produce?

Pollinated plants produce seeds, which are necessary for the plant to reproduce. Pollination is the process of transferring pollen from the male part of the flower to the female part, leading to fertilization and seed development.


How is a holly bush pollinated?

Holly bushes are typically pollinated by wind, as they have separate male and female plants where wind helps to carry pollen from male flowers to female flowers. Once pollinated, female flowers will develop into the red berry-like fruits that are characteristic of holly bushes.


If a plant has a sticky stigma is it wind or insect pollinated?

A plant with a sticky stigma is more likely to be insect-pollinated. The stickiness of the stigma helps to capture pollen grains brought by insects. Wind-pollinated plants typically have feathery stigmas to catch pollen grains carried by the wind.


Is a buttercup flower a wind or insect pollinated plant?

It's bright and showy, and even has little nectar ducts under its petals, so insect-pollinated. Wind-pollinated plants generally don't have flowers, or the flowers are very small and inconspicuous, like those of grass. Wind-pollinated plants also make far more pollen (try tapping a pine tree or reed in spring) because the wind does not take it directly to its destination, much of it will be lost. With insects there's a fair chance the little there is will reach another flower of the same species.

Which type of plant causes more hay fever insect pollinated or wind pollinated?

Wind-pollinated plants are primarily responsible for causing more hay fever than insect-pollinated plants. This is because wind-pollinated species, such as grasses, trees, and some weeds, release large quantities of lightweight pollen into the air, which can easily be inhaled by people. In contrast, insect-pollinated plants tend to produce heavier, stickier pollen that is less likely to become airborne and cause allergic reactions. Therefore, individuals with hay fever are more affected by pollen from wind-pollinated plants.


Where did tobacco first come from?

How is a plant that has a petals a pollinated?

Most plants are pollinated by bees, butterflies, moths or other flying insects. Some are pollinated by wind or rain such as wheat and corn. Some are pollinated by flies and emit a smelly odor like a cadaver or feces. Some plants, such as cacti, are pollinated by bats. In North and South America hummingbirds pollinate tube shaped flowers.
