Self pollinated flowers adaptations:
1.they r complete
2.show chistogamy
Cross pollinated flower adaptations:
1.monosexuality
2.chasmogamy
Plants having cleistogamous flowers
Self pollination does not require pollinating agency and it is accompalished with lesser amount of material (pollen grains) but selfpollination leads to homozygosity and sometimes sterility due to lethal genes. Cross pollination helps in genetic advancement and evolution of hybrids and it is preferred by majority of plants. Although cross pollination reqiures plenty of pollenating material and presence of pollinators.
The basic needs for plants are water, nutrition, and reproduction. Flowers are the reproductive organs of plants.
Flowers have evolved several adaptations to enhance pollination, including bright colors and appealing scents that attract pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and birds. Some flowers have developed specific shapes that accommodate certain pollinators, ensuring effective transfer of pollen. Additionally, nectar production serves as a reward for pollinators, further encouraging their visitation and facilitating cross-pollination. These adaptations collectively increase the chances of successful reproduction for the plants.
Plants bearing bisexual flowers and having self incompatibility and also dioceous plants bearing unisexual flowers.
The flowers help plants in attracting pollinators for cross pollination. Cross pollination creates genetic diversity for better adaptability.
No, only cross pollination between plants of the same genus and species
Cucumbers (Cucumis sativus) are typically considered to be monoecious plants, meaning they produce both unisexual male and female flowers on the same plant. The male flowers usually appear first, followed by female flowers, which, if pollinated, develop into cucumbers. This adaptation allows for self-pollination as well as cross-pollination.

During self pollination, pollen grains move from the stamen of a flower to its pistil. Cross pollination involves flowers from different plants.
It allows flowers to have their seeds spreed to new areas.

the differences between a unisexual and a bisexual flower is unisexual flower- the flower may either contain stamen or a carpel. cross pollination takes place in such kinds bisexual flower - such flowers contain both stamen and carpels . there are chances of cross pollination and self pollination in such flowers.
A primrose is a plant of European woodlands that produces pale yellow flowers. It has developed adaptations in cool, moist environments, which allow it to grow successful. Its two types of flowers, the pin-eyed and thrum-eyed, is an adaptation to promote cross pollination.
