🗑
|
||||
| Trait | is a genetically determined variant of a characteristic, such as the color of the flower.
🗑
|
||||
| Pollination | occurs when pollen grains produced in the male reproductive parts (anthers) are transferred to the female reproductive parts (stigma).
🗑
|
||||
| Self-pollination | occurs when pollen transferred from the anthers of one flower to the the stigma of same flower or on another plant.
🗑
|
||||
| cross-pollination | Occurs between flowers of two plants
🗑
