Each point: 1 Mark

1. The transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of a flower is called pollination.
2. The two types of pollination are self-pollination and cross-pollination.
3. If the pollen lands on the stigma of the same flower or when the pollen of a flower lands on the stigma of another flower of the same plant it is called self-pollination. When pollen lands on the stigma of a different flower on another plant but of the same species, it is called cross-pollination.
