Question

a) Define pollination.
b) Define the two types of pollination?

Answer 1

The transfer of the pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of a flower is called pollination.
The two types of pollination are:

1. Self-pollination: The process of transfer of pollen grains from anthers to the stigma of a flower, but when this process is between the flowers of the same plant then the term is called self-pollination.
2. Cross-pollination: The process of transfer of pollen grains between the flowers of the different plants of the same species is called cross-pollination.
