Spreading that pollen!

ShinoLara

I can't remember, but flowers have two sexes, right? Otherwise, it might be hard for flowers to reproduce

WhiteLego

They actually do ! Many flower species require pollinators to spread their pollen to other flowers for reproduction. Pollinators can include insects, winds, small mammals, and humans trapped underground!

So having kids isn’t really a big deal or must call “seed”? Lol

WhiteLego

It really isn’t that big of a deal, but what is a big deal with plants is inbreeding! Plants suffer effects from inbreeding, and if memory serves me right, actually helped us understand that inbreeding with people is harmful for reproduction too, which means pollinators have to carry pollen far away from male plants as to reduce the chances of inbreeding inside of plants.
