After hearing this story a number of questions accrued
to me including: if the plant is genetically altered
could that change the geometry of the pollen grain?
After all it is geometry of the pollen grain that
determines its species and creates a ‘sexual
fit’ between the pollen grain and the flower
in question. Pollen is either carried or drifts
in the air and it is seemingly by random chance
that the pollen finds its geometric counter point
(or mate). It is this random chance encounter is
what allows for the passing on of genetic information
and subsequent re-generation of a new life. After
the DNA is passed on the flower wilts and new seeds
are produced.
