They can't.

This is because their pollen cells have different numbers of chromosomes, and therefore reproduction cannot occur.

In order for flowers to breed, the pollinator must have the same number of chromosomes in its pollen cells as the flower receiving the pollen.

What animals plant have less growth at low population density?

Plants that rely on animal pollinators for reproduction, such as many fruit-bearing trees and plants, may experience decreased growth at low population densities of pollinators. This is because there are fewer pollinators available to transfer pollen between plants, leading to reduced fertilization and seed production.


Are all pigments found in plants involved in photosynthesis?

No. All pigments found in plants are not involved in photosynthesis. In fact, the greatest variety of colored pigments are found in flower pedals and are used to attract pollinators among other things.


What are the disadvantages of plants reproducing sexually?

Disadvantages of sexual reproduction in plants include the need for a pollinator, the chance of producing offspring with undesirable traits due to genetic recombination, and the investment of energy required to produce flowers and attract pollinators.


Main pollinators of red flowers are?

The main pollinators of red flowers are typically bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies. These pollinators are attracted to the bright red color and sweet nectar of red flowers, helping to transfer pollen between plants for reproduction.


How are angiosperm and its pollinators mutually rewarded by their relationship?

Angiosperms provide nectar and pollen as rewards for pollinators like bees and butterflies, which helps them to reproduce by transferring pollen between plants. In return, pollinators help angiosperms by facilitating their reproduction through pollination, ensuring that they can produce seeds and offspring. This mutual relationship benefits both parties by aiding in their survival and reproduction.

What helps attract pollinators?

Pollinators such as bees, butterflies and other insects or birds are attracted to the colors and smells of certain flowers. During the feeding process cross pollination occurs.

What are some examples of plant mutualism in nature?

Plant mutualism in nature includes examples such as the relationship between plants and mycorrhizal fungi, where the fungi help plants absorb nutrients from the soil in exchange for sugars produced by the plants. Another example is the mutualistic relationship between plants and pollinators, where plants provide nectar and pollen for pollinators in exchange for the pollinators transferring pollen between plants for reproduction.


What are facts about the water lily?

Water lilies provide food for fish. They need pollinators to make seeds. Water lilies are perennial plants.

This is because there are fewer pollinators available to transfer pollen between plants, leading to reduced fertilization and seed production.


How does smell attract pollinators?

Smells attract pollinators by releasing chemical compounds called volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are specific to certain plants and their flowers. These VOCs can be detected by pollinators like bees, butterflies, or birds from a distance, guiding them towards the source of nectar or pollen, which benefits both the pollinators and the plants in terms of reproduction and food resources.


What do flowers attract?

Flowers attract pollinators such as bees, butterflies, birds, and other insects. These pollinators help transfer pollen from one flower to another, allowing for the fertilization of plants and the production of seeds.


What incentive do plants give insects animals for pollination?

Also most plants have “rewards” for its pollinators like nectar or perfumes, but some plants trick its pollinators into thinking they will get something, for instance some flowers trick their pollinator into thinking that it is a female of its kind and that they want to mate with them. So when they will try to mate with the flower pollen will get all over their head.

Why is bee the most important animal in the world?

I'm not sure it is the most important, but it pollinates an enormous number of flowering plants. Without pollinators wild flowering plants would die off in a generation. However there are many other pollinators, including birds, man, etc. so not all flowering plants would go extinct without bees.
