Define pollination. Explain the different types of pollination. List two agents of pollination? How does suitable pollination lead to fertilization?


Pollination is described as the deposition of pollen grains from anthers belonging to the same flower, same plant, or different plant on the stigma of a flower.
There are two types of pollination.
Stigma receives pollen grains from the same flower, resulting in self-pollination.
Stigma receives pollen grains from a flower on the same plant or a different plant during cross pollination.
Pollination is carried out by the wind and insects, which are known as Anemophily and Entomophily, respectively.
Grasses, Gymnosperms, and other plants that pollinate by wind are examples.
Rose, Euphorbia sps, and other examples of insect pollination
Pollination and fertilization – Proper pollination results in suitable pollen grains being deposited on the stigma, which leads to the development of pollen tubes and fertilization.

Final Answer : Pollen transfer from a stigma, ovule, flower, or plant to a stigma, ovule, flower, or plant to facilitate fertilization is called pollination.
