Flowering plants have several different parts that are important in pollination. Flowers have male parts called stamens that produce a sticky powder called pollen.
Flowers have a female part called the pistil. The top of the pistil is called the stigma, and is often sticky.
To be pollinated, pollen must be moved from a stamen to the stigma. When pollen from a plant's stamen is transferred to that same plant's stigma, it is called self-pollination.
When pollen from a plant's stamen is transferred to a different plant's stigma, it is called cross-pollination. Cross-pollination produces stronger plants. The plants must be of the same species. For example, only pollen from a daisy can pollinate another daisy. Pollen from a rose or an apple tree would not work.
Pollination occurs in several ways. People can transfer pollen from one flower to another, but most plants are pollinated without any help from people. Usually plants rely on animals or the wind to pollinate them.
When animals such as bees, butterflies, moths, flies, and hummingbirds pollinate plants, it's accidental. They are not trying to pollinate the plant. Usually they are at the plant to get food, the sticky pollen or a sweet nectar made at the base of the petals. When feeding, the animals accidentally rub against the stamens and get pollen stuck all over themselves. When they move to another flower to feed, some of the pollen can rub off onto this new plant's stigma.
Plants that are pollinated by animals often are brightly colored and have a strong smell to attract the animal pollinators.
Another way plants are pollinated is by the wind. The wind picks up pollen from one plant and blows it onto another.
Plants that are pollinated by wind often have long stamens and pistils. Since they do not need to attract animal pollinators, they can be dully colored, unscented, and with small or no petals since no insect needs to land on them.

∙ 12y agoIt is usually insects such as bees that go to flowers to get nectar, while the pollen gets stuck to the body of the bee then when the bees move on to another flower the pollen then transfers to another flower and ends up in the stigma. Or it could be the wind when it blows and sometimes even humans they can spread the pollen on to the stigma's themselves sometimes using a specific tool.

∙ 12y agoSome pollen is carried on the wind, other pollen is carried by insects such as bees.
Some is from animals too. MAYBE YOU............

What is the pollen transferred from the stamen to the stigma?
pollination-it's that simple :)
Where are the stamen and pistol located in a plant?
The stamen and pistol are the male and female parts of the plant, located in the flower. They are very obvious in some flowers (ex = hibiscus), and very tough to spot in others. The stamen have the pollen. When the pollen from the stamen get onto the pistol, cells combine, travel down the pistol, and eventually form seeds inside the fruit of the plant.
The generation of a plant responsible for producing gametes is the?
Pollen are produced in the anther of the stamen, which is the male part of the plant. The pollen is transferred to the ovule of the ovary (the female part of the plant). Both pollen and ovule are haploid gametes.
What does a stamen on a flower do?
It produces pollen!
What are the sturctures that produce the male gametophyte in angiosperms called?
stamen, pollen pod
When pollen is transferred from the stamen of flower to the pistil what occurred?
When pollen is transferred for the stamen to the pistil, the pollen helps the pistil create a fruit, which contains the seeds a plant needs to be grown from.

What is a pistol of a plant?
It is the female part. The stamen are the male parts.
Did stamen product pollen?
the 2 stamen product pollen
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.
In what part of flowers is pollen produced?
The part which produces the pollen is called the stamen.
How does pollen get to the stamen?
Pollen travels through the plants ovaries up to the stamen waiting for a bee to release pollen around.***
What is meant by the term pollination?
Pollination is the process in which pollen is transferred from the male part of a plant to the female part of a plant. This is how flowers reproduce.
What is the process that pollen is transferred from the stamens to the stigma?
From the stamen to the stigma which is the sticky end of the pistil (which includes the stigma, style and the ovary.
The generation of a plant responsible for producing gametes is the?
Pollen are produced in the anther of the stamen, which is the male part of the plant. The pollen is transferred to the ovule of the ovary (the female part of the plant). Both pollen and ovule are haploid gametes.
