Pistils and stamen are the reproductive organs of a plant. They need to mature at the same time so that the plants can be fertilized.

What is the movement of pollen from a stamen to a pistil?

Pollination. Pollination can occur from the same plant, or from other plants of the same species. The pollen can be spread by wind, animals, or insects (notably bees).


What is a flower lacking BOTH carpels and stamens?

A flower without stamen is known as a unisexual flower. And even a flower without pistel/carpel is known as unisexual flower. A flower is known as bisexual if it contains both stamen and pistel/carpel


State three characteristics that ensure Cross- pollination takes place in flowering plant?

1.Protogynae or protendry (either female or male gamete maturing earlier) 2. Hetrostyle (Stigma & anthers of the same flower at different length) 3. Self- incompatibility


Which part of a flower receives the pollen?

The entire female reproductive structure in a flower is known as the gynoecium, and the part that specifically receives the pollen is known as the stigma (note that referring to the human female's anatomy with the same word could result in severe dismemberment).The stamen.


How is pollen transferred from the stamen to the pistol?

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.

What is difference between pistil and carpel?

They are the exact same thing! Pistil is more of a layman term.


Is allamanda unisexual or bisexual Give reason?

Allamanda is a bisexual plant because it has both male and female reproductive organs (stamens and pistils) in the same flower. The presence of both male and female reproductive structures in the same flower allows the plant to self-pollinate, although it can also be cross-pollinated by insects or other pollinators.


What is difference between anther and filament?

The anther and the filament are the same because they are both part of the stamen. The stamen in a flower is the male reproductive organs.Although these are both part of the Stamen, they both have a different function in the plant.Filament: The stalk of the Anther.Anther: Contain pollen sacs. The sacs release pollen on to the outside of the anthers that brush against insects on entering the flowers. The pollen once deposited on the insect is transferred to the stigma of another flower or the same flower. The ovule is then able to be fertilised.

What transfers of pollen from the stamen of one flower to the pistil of another flower of the same species?

Usually insects although other methods such as wind can do it.


What is self-pollinating?

Self pollination is when the pollen from the Stamen goes to the Stigma of the same flower, rather then the pollen going to a Stigma of a different flower.


What is the movement of pollen from a stamen to a pistil?

Pollination. Pollination can occur from the same plant, or from other plants of the same species. The pollen can be spread by wind, animals, or insects (notably bees).


How is soft cheese made?

What grows down the pistil of a flower?

The pistil is the female part of the flower. When pollen is transfered from the stamen of the same flower or another flower of the same or similar type by wind, insects, or q-tips, a seed forms inside the pistil. Plant breeders actually remove the stamen from selected flowers and place pollen from other flowers ion or in the pistil with q-tips so the plant that grows from the seed will have the desired characteristics.
