Learning on ScreenPollination
- Synopsis
- Programme showing the diversity of ways in which plants have evolved to promote cross-pollination and hence cross-fertilisation. It explores how plants are adapted for pollination by insects, birds, mammals, wind and water. Focuses on the ways in which selected pressures have produced these adaptations. Describes gametophytic and sporophytic self-incompatibility mechanisms. An interactive simulation allows students to design flowers for optimal pollination by bees. Approximately 4.5 hours of teaching material.
