Does a cross pollination of a gourd and a squash create an edible squash?

Most gourds that I am familiar with are from a different genus - Lagenaria. In that case they will not cross with each other. Some decorative gourds are in the genus Cucurbita and will cross. The result may then not be very edible if the gourd dominates. You will get a mixture. If they are edible, it would be when the fruit are very small.

Will a spaghetti squash and a banana squash cross pollinate and if so is it edible?
As spaghetti squash is a Cucurbita pepo and a banana squash is a Cucurbita maxima, they will not cross. Only cucurbits within the same species will cross-pollinate so you can grow one of each. Incidentally, the fruit of crossed species is still edible, but often inferior.
What kind of pollination increases variation within a plant species?
The right answer is "cross" or "cross pollination" or "cross-pollination"
The movement of pollen from the stamen to the carpel is called.?
It is known as pollination (sometimes as cross-pollination).
What is the purpose of cross-pollination and self-pollination?
The purpose of cross-pollination and self-pollination are to perform reproduction so off spring can be produced.
What is Different between self pollination and cross pollination?
In cross pollination there is wastage of pollen grains , but in self pollination there is no wastage of pollen grains.
Distinguish between self-pollination cross-pollination?
The process of pollination from same flower is called self-pollination. the process of pollination from another flower of same breed is called cross-pollination.
What are the types of pollination?
cross and self pollination
What are the 2 different methods of pollination?
The two main types of pollination are self (or autogamous) pollination and cross (or heterogamous) pollination. Self pollination - is when pollination is tansfer from the anther to the stigma of the same flower. Cross pollintion - is when pollination is transfer from the anther to the stigma of another flower
What is the process in which the pollen from on plant is used to fertilize another?
Cross pollination or cross fertilisation.
Can you make your own species?
You can create a hybrid between two species through their cross pollination, but that is not new species.
Why cross pollination takes place?
To create more genetic variability so as give momentum to the process of evolution.
How many types of pollination are there?
There are 2 types of pollination 1. Self pollination. 2. Cross pollination.
