Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A bisexual flower has the male as well as female reproductive organs. If the young stamens, (i.e., male unit) is removed artificially, the flower still has its pistil, (i.e., female unit) intact.
Thus, cross pollination can occur. When the pollen grains from the anther of another flower are transferred to the stigma of this flower with the help of pollinating agents as insects, bees, wind and water, it causes cross-pollination.
After the pollen grain fall on stigma, the next step is fertilisation, formation of fruits and seeds.
