No, pine pollen and rose pollen are from different plant species and cannot combine to create a new flower. In general, pollen from one plant species cannot fertilize the ovules of a different plant species.
The space above the nucellus in a pine ovule is called the pollen chamber. This is where pollen grains land and germinate before fertilizing the egg cell within the nucellus.
Yes, it is a producer because it produces pine seeds. In fact, pine seeds pretty much make up the whole pine cone.
they cause the spread of pollen to other plants, because it gets stuck in their fur and so transfered. the pollen sticks to the stigma of other plants when the animal brushes past, and fertilises the ova in other flowers of the same species.
The three main ways pollen is transferred are by wind (anemophily), by insects (entomophily), and by birds or other animals (zoophily). Each method of pollen transfer is adapted to suit the specific characteristics of the plant species involved.
