Solution

Sexual reproduction in flowering plants:
Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of two gametes (one male and one female) to form the unicellular zygote.
In flowering plants, sexual reproduction involves pollination and fertilization.
The differences between pollination and fertilization are given below.
Pollination
Fertilization
During pollination, the pollen grains from the anther (part of stamen) of a flower are transported to the stigma (part of carpel) of another flower within the same plant or a different plant. During fertilization, the haploid male and female gametes fuse to produce a diploid zygote.
It is an external mechanism. It may be internal or external, depending on the organism.
