Red maples and other wind-pollinated plants invest relatively little in producing beautiful and large flowers, but must invest a great deal in producing pollen to achieve good pollination rates.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Pollination can occur within same flower or between flowers of different plants..
- Pollination is called cross-pollination when pollen are transferred from flower of one plant to the flower of other plant.
- Pollination is carried out by different agents like, insects, animal , wind etc.
- Wind pollinated flowers are not very large because they need not to attract the pollinating agent but produce large number of pollen because during transfer much of the pollen will be wasted.
