Which type of pollination occur in …

Cross pollination

Maize (called corn in some parts of the world) is pollinated by wind. The male anthers let go of their pollen and it blows over to a nearby female flower on another corn plant. Most of the flowers are either male or female on a corn plant (monoecious), rather than both sexes in one flower (hermaphrodite). Maize flowers have evolved (changed over time) to use wind for pollination. They do not need pretty petals. The pollen is light so it can blow around, and the ends of the female parts (stigma) are fluffy to catch all the tiny pollen grains. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Petunia is pollinated either by Entomophily (pollination by insects) or by Ornithophily (pollination by birds). Petunia is usually pollinated by bees , humming birds and hawkmoths.
