Cross Pollination vs Cross Pollination
In the process of cross pollination, the pollen is transferred from one plant to another by a pollinator, such as an insect, or by the wind. In self pollination, the plant’s stamen sheds pollen directly onto its own stigma.
Most plants use cross pollination. Those that use insects as pollinators tend to have brightly colored flowers and an attractive scent. Those that are pollinated by the wind have long stamens and pistils with small or no petals.
Plants that use self pollination, such as peanuts, tend to have smaller flowers. Some plants that cross pollinate are also capable of self pollination if cross pollination is unsuccessful. These include peas, orchids and sunflowers.
