Solution
- Because pea blossoms are cleistogamous, that is, they do not open, they yield guaranteed seed sets.
- Because the stigma and anther are near one another inside the closed flower, this guarantees self-pollination.
- Even without pollinators, pollination is facilitated when the anthers dehisce, and the pollen grains come into contact with the stigma, ensuring seed formation.
