Summary Introduction

To review:

The effect of bees on the fruit mass and seed formation.

Introduction:

Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther (male part) of a flower to the stigma (female part) of a flower. Pollination occurs within the same plant (self-pollination) and where the female and male parts are present on the separate flowers or plants (cross- pollination). The pollination is a necessary process for the plants in order to reproduce and produce seeds. Most of the plants depend on bees or insects for it. These are pollinators that collect the pollen and nectar from the flowering plant. In the given experiment, the seeds of gooseberry plant were self-pollinated, cross-pollinated by hand, and cross-pollinated by bees. The results of the experiment are given in the graph below:
