Fertilization in Angiosperms
34
Evolutionary Adaptations for pollination in Angiosperms n Pollinators and plants have evolved together. n Bird pollinated flowers are red; bee pollinated, blue. n Nectar guides - in ultraviolet. n Long stamen - positioned to brush against pollinator. n Sunken ovary - inferior. n Lack of petals and stamen. n Flowers only open at night.
