Explain the difference between self pollinated plants and cross pollinated plants and give five examples of each?

Self-pollinated plants are plants that can fertilize themselves without the need for external pollinators, such as insects or wind. This means that the plant can produce seeds on its own without the need for pollen from another plant. Cross-pollinated plants, on the other hand, require pollen from another plant to fertilize their flowers and produce seeds.

Examples of self-pollinated plants:
1. Peas
2. Beans
3. Wheat
4. Rice
5. Tomatoes

Examples of cross-pollinated plants:
1. Apples
2. Squash
3. Corn
4. Sunflowers
5. Blueberries
