To draw: A model showing a series of steps by which a pollinator accomplishes pollination. Introduction: Pollination is the process in which the pollen grains transfer from the anther of a flower to the stigma of another flower. The pollinating agents help in the conduction of pollen from one flower to another. The animals, as pollinating agents, have co-evolved with the plant species. This co-evolution leads to the special characters in the flowers of a species and adaptation of the feeding habit of the insects according to the flowers.
