Question

Q4. When an insect visits a sunflower, pollen grains from the anther of the sunflower stick to the body of the insect. The same insect visits a lily flower for nectar and the pollens fall on the stigma of the lily flower. Is formation of seed possible in such a situation? Give reason.

Answer 1

Answer:

When an insect visits the flower to get food, some pollen will stick to its body. The insect then flies off to another flower where some of the pollen may be transferred to the stigma. This transfer of pollen from one flower to another is called cross-pollination.
