The bee is pollinating the flower. This is an important step in the ____ of flowering plants.
A
speciation
B
regeneration
C
sexual reproduction
D
asexual reproduction
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The bee collects nectar from the flower and transfers the pollen to the stigma. 3. The flowers’ ovules are fertilized with the pollen and the flowers will subsequently produce seeds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pollen, looking like insignificant yellow dust, bears a plant’s male sex cells and is a vital link in the reproductive cycle. With adequate pollination, wildflowers: Reproduce and produce enough seeds for dispersal and propagation. Maintain genetic diversity within a population.

Detailed explanation-3: -The pollen grain begins to grow and develops pollen tube that transfers the male gametes to the female gamete present in the ovary. The male and female gametes unite to form the zygote. This union is known as fertilization. The ovules develop into seeds and ovary into fruit.

Detailed explanation-4: -According to bee experts at the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, a third of the world’s food production depends on bees. When animals and insects pick up the pollen of flowers and spread it, they allow plants, including many food crops, to reproduce.

Detailed explanation-5: -This process is known as fertilisation. Through fertilisation, seeds are produced and it contains genetic material from both the parents. Pollination is a process in which flowering plants reproduce sexually. In a flower, male sex organs are known as stamens and female sex organs are known as pistils.
