Question

a hibiscus may or may not need a pollinating agent for reproduction. give reason​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hibiscus (Hibiscus spp.) are tropical plants. The ancestor species of modern hibiscus can still be found in the world's tropical regions. Most of these ancestor species are not genetically compatible with each other and cannot interbreed. Eight species can cross with each other. These eight -- rosa-sinensis, lilliflorus, schizopetalus, fragilis, genevieve, arnottianus, storckii, kokio -- provided the genetic material for modern hibiscus hybrids.

Pollination in the Wild

Hibiscus can self-pollinate. In other words, pollen from the male parts of the flower ca pollinate the female parts of that same blossom. Hibiscus pollen germinates on the stamen, the male part of the plant. From the stamen, it is transferred to the stigma pads of the pistil, the female parts of the plant. From the pistil, the pollen finds its way to the ovules of the ovary. If the flower is pollinated, a seed pod will develop. The ovary at the base of the flower will swell. Over the course of the next six to 14 weeks, seeds will develop inside it. Eventually the pod will dry and open, releasing about a dozen seeds.
