In insect-pollinated plants, the anthers are typically positioned in a way that makes it easy for visiting insects to come in contact with them. They are often located at a height and in a position where the insects can brush against them while foraging for nectar or pollen. This helps facilitate efficient pollen transfer between flowers.
Three flowers that are insect-pollinated are sunflowers, roses, and lilies. These flowers often have colorful petals, strong fragrances, and nectar to attract insects like bees, butterflies, and beetles for pollination.

Plant breeders prevent unwanted cross-pollination by isolating plants physically (e.g., using barriers like nets or isolation cages), controlling the timing of flowering to prevent overlap with other plants, or manually removing male reproductive organs (e.g., anthers) before pollen is released. These methods help ensure that the desired plants are pollinated with the intended parent, resulting in controlled breeding.
Many plants are pollinated by insects, including bees, butterflies, and flies. Some common examples include sunflowers, roses, and fruit trees such as apple and peach. These plants rely on insects to transfer pollen from one flower to another in order to reproduce.
Dandelion plants are primarily pollinated by insects, such as bees and flies, that visit the flowers to collect nectar and pollen. Wind can also play a role in transferring pollen between dandelion plants.
Some examples of insect-pollinated plants include sunflowers, lavender, roses, and fruit trees like apple and cherry. These plants rely on insects like bees, butterflies, and beetles to transfer pollen between flowers for reproduction.
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.
Insect-pollinated plants can lead to both inbreeding and outbreeding, depending on their reproductive strategies. Many insect-pollinated species have mechanisms to promote outcrossing, such as spatial separation of male and female flowers or self-incompatibility systems that prevent self-fertilization. However, if insects primarily visit the same plant or closely related individuals, inbreeding can occur. Ultimately, the degree of inbreeding or outbreeding depends on factors like flower structure, pollinator behavior, and plant population dynamics.

Pea plant is self pollinated ---- Not necessarily true: my bees like peas and beans.
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.

Dandelion plants are primarily pollinated by insects, such as bees and flies, that visit the flowers to collect nectar and pollen. Wind can also play a role in transferring pollen between dandelion plants.
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.
Common examples of anemophilous (wind-pollinated) plants are ragweed, grass, and conifers.(Generally, any pollen that is considered an allergen, comes from an anemophilous plant)
