Pea flowers are self-pollinating. About two days before the flower even opens, the anthers at the top of the stamen, which are the male part, burst and release the pollen. This sticks onto the stigma and fertilizes the ovary - these are the female parts. In many flowering plants, the stigma will not accept pollen from the same plant and fertilization must occur through other means, such as insect pollination after the flower opens. For gardeners, self-pollination is an advantage as it means more than one type of pea can be grown close together, as cross-pollination will not occur.

To perform his experiments how did Mendel prevent pea flowers from self pollinating and control their cross pollination?
He cut off the pollen
How did gregor Mendel cross pollinate flowers?
Gregor Mendel studied pea plants. Pea flowers have both male and female organs. He removed the stamen and hand pollenated the flowers so he was sure of the cross. If you search on cross pollination images, you will get pictures of this.
How did Mendel prevent pea flowers from self-pollinating and control their cross pollination?
He used a brush to wipe the pollen of of the flower and placed it on another plant causing forced self-pollination.

What is bud pollination in plants?
In some plants example pea,wheat and rice, the anthers and stigmas of bisexual flowers ripen before opening of buds.self pollination occurs before the flower opens.
How could self-pollination take place?
Self-pollination could take place in many different flowers like a pea flower or a daisy. ect...

Can pollination in pea plants happen in three ways?
No, it can not. Pea plant flowers are self pollinated.
How did Mendel prevent pea flowers from slef- pollinating and cross- pollination?
Mendel prevented self pollination in pea plant by emasculation and cross pollination by covering the flower buds with paper bags.
How did Mendel control pollination in pea plants?
Mendel removed the anthers from the flowers on a plant.
To perform his experiments how did Mendel prevent pea flowers from self pollinating and control their cross pollination?
He cut off the pollen
Why did mendel remove the anthers from the pea plants when performing cross-pollination in his experiment?
So that the flowers wont self pollinate.

How did Mendel pea flowers from self-pollinating and control their cross-pollintation to perform his experiments?
Pea flowers are self pollinated but to ensure 100 percent self pollination Mendel covered the flower buds by paper bags before anthesis.
