Detailed explanation-1: -When insects land on a flower, pollen grains tend to stick to their bodies. The insect then moves from one to another flower of the same species, pollen gets transferred to the stigma of flowers and hence causing pollination.
Detailed explanation-2: -Insects play a vital role in the fertilization process of many plants. They carry pollen from one flower to another, which fertilizes the flower and creates a seed which will grow into a new plant.
Detailed explanation-3: -In wind-pollinated flowers, the produced pollen grains are smaller and lighter in weight, which can be carried by the wind easily. In insect-pollinated flowers, the produced pollen grains are larger in size, sticky and spiny, which helps the insect to carry the pollen grains.
Detailed explanation-4: -Pollination is the process that brings these male and female gametes together. Pollen can’t get from the anthers to the ovules on its own, so pollination relies on other things to move the pollen. The wind or animals, especially insects and birds, pick up pollen from the male anthers and carry it to the female stigma.
Detailed explanation-5: -When pollination happens between flowers of different plantsit leads to varieties of flowers. Therefore pollination acts a major role in diversity. The pollen grains are carried by bees and other creatures to places far away and other flowers and plants as well. This leads to diversity.
