What are two ways pollen grain can get to the stigma? | Air and Animals |
Why do flowers usually contain more stamen than pistils? | So there is a larger chance the pollen grain would get to the pistil. |
What elevates the stigma? | The style |
Why is it important to elevate the stigma? | So the pollinators can pollinate it without having to look for it. |
How does the structure of the stigma aid in pollination? | The stickiness makes the pollen stay. |
