    • What is the process of pollination in plants?
      Transfer of pollen
    • Pollination involves the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma, enabling fertilization.
    • Steps involved in self-pollination
      1️⃣ Pollen is released from the anther
      2️⃣ Pollen is transferred to the stigma of the same plant
    • Steps involved in cross-pollination
      1️⃣ Pollen is released from the anther
      2️⃣ Pollen is transferred to the stigma of a different plant
    • Self-pollination results in high genetic variation in plants.
      False
    • What is a major advantage of wind pollination for plants?
      No reliance on pollinators
    • Plants adapted for wind pollination have small petals and no fragrance
    • Wind pollination is highly efficient in transferring pollen.
      False
    • Adaptations for water pollination
      1️⃣ Light pollen to float on water
      2️⃣ Reduced or absent petals
      3️⃣ Specialized stigmas
    • What is water pollination also known as?
      Hydrophily
    • Plants adapted for water pollination have light pollen to float on water
    • Match the pollen carrier with the type of pollination:
      Water ↔️ Hydrophily
      Wind ↔️ Anemophily
      Insects ↔️ Entomophily
    • Water pollination is highly efficient in transferring pollen.
      False
    • What is a major advantage of water pollination for plants?
      Works in aquatic environments
    • What is the term for water pollination?
      Hydrophily
    • Water pollination involves the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma by water.
    • Plants adapted for hydrophily have light pollen to float on water.
    • What is the term for insect pollination?
      Entomophily
    • Insect pollination relies on insects to transfer pollen from the anther to the stigma.
    • Large petals are an adaptation for insect-pollinated plants.
    • What is the term for bird pollination?
      Ornithophily
    • Bird-pollinated plants have brightly colored petals to attract birds.
    • Bird-pollinated plants produce sweet fragrance to attract pollinators.
      False
    • Define pollination.
      Transfer of pollen
    • Pollination involves the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma.
    • Match the type of pollination with its characteristic:
      Self-Pollination ↔️ Pollen transfer within the same flower
      Cross-Pollination ↔️ Pollen transfer between different flowers
    • Self-pollination involves the transfer of pollen within the same flower.
    • What is the primary drawback of cross-pollination?
      Reliance on external agents
    • What is pollination in plants?
      Transfer of pollen
    • There are two primary types of pollination: self-pollination and cross-pollination
    • Match the pollination type with its pollen source:
      Self-Pollination ↔️ Same plant
      Cross-Pollination ↔️ Different plant
    • Where does pollen transfer occur in self-pollination?
      Same plant
    • Cross-pollination results in high genetic variation.
    • Wind pollination is also known as anemophily
    • What is a major disadvantage of wind pollination?
      Inefficient pollen use
    • Plants adapted for water pollination have light pollen to float on water.
    • Match the pollination method with its primary feature:
      Hydrophily ↔️ Light pollen
      Anemophily ↔️ Feathery stigmas
      Entomophily ↔️ Sweet fragrance
    • What type of stigma do insect-pollinated flowers have?
      Sticky
    • Insect pollination is also called entomophily
    • Insect-pollinated flowers produce nectar to attract pollinators.
