Why would cross fertilization happen more if the stamen and pistol matured at different times?

im so lost can you explain it to me?


THANKS

Why would cross fertilization happen more if the stamen and pistol matured at different times?
Because the plant would not have the ability to self-polinate if it did not have both its stamen and pistol at the same time (the stamen and pistol are for plants much like human reproductive organs are for us- you need both for reproduction)





Lacking both a stamen and pistol, the only way a plant can reproduce is with another plant.
