Answer:

Hummingbird

Explanation:

Pollination is the process by which pollen grains are transferred from anther of a flower to stigma. It is a vital process required for reproduction of new plants.

Cardinal flower has two upper petals and three lower spreading petals. All the petals combine to form a tube at the base. Hence the flowers get a tubular shape. Insects can not enter the tubular flower easily so humming birds usually pollinate these flowers. The hummingbirds feeds on its nectar and pollinates the flower in the process.

Answer:

The transfer of mature pollen grain from anther of the flower to the stigma of the same flower of the same [species  is called self pollination.

Generally, the transfer of pollen grains by wind,animals,and water  to stigmas is called pollination. It is a means of vegetative propagation which ensures reproduction.

Therefore during self pollination, the same genes are distributed  from one generation to another. Thus genetic purity is ensured. It also ensured reproductive success. because there is little chance of the pollen grain getting lost in transit. It is also certain  a particular plant would always breed true.

Additionally it prevent  the process of transfer of genes in some transgenic crops( rice, maize) where through genetic engineering some genes are introduced in their genome.

The only negative effect is lack of genetic diversity. Therefore after a period of time the plants get  weak and prone to diseases and infection. Because of poor resistant from lack of variation.

Ierofanga [76]

D is the correct answer!

Only one dominant gene is needed for that trait to show, in this case, purple flowers rather than white. As there is ONE present dominant gene, the purples will in fact turn out purple.
