If you remove the stamens of all the pea flower in a garden which phenomenon will be affected-fruit formation pollination or fertilization?

If we remove the stamens of all the pea flower in a garden pollination will be affected. Cause then there will be no pollen grain to be transferred to the stigma of a female flower. No pollination will, in turn, affect the fertilization eventually affecting fruit formation.

Explanation:


• Pollination is a process of transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of the carpel.


• If all the stamens from a flower will be removed, there will be no pollen grain that can be transferred to the stigma.


• This will result in absence of pollination.


• If pollination will not occur, then the male gamete will not be able to fuse with the female gamete, hence, stopping fertilization.


• If fertilization will not occur, ultimately its post product that is fruit will also not be formed.
