Fertilization is the process of combining or fusing two gametes or cells, one male and one female, to produce a zygote. The zygote then grows and develops into a new progeny. In plants, it is a type of sexual reproduction. This is accomplished through a variety of hormonal and structural developments, and sexual reproduction in flowering plants is referred to as Embryology.
Pollination is the process of transferring pollen from the anther of a stamen to the stigma of an ovule-bearing plant. This is done to allow pollen grains to enter the ovule and fertilization to occur.
After reaching the stigma, the pollen forms the pollen tube, through which the male gametes are transported to the ovule and fertilization occurs.
If pollination does not occur, the male gametes of pollen grain are unable to enter the ovule, preventing fertilization and the formation of zygotes, resulting in the inhibition of sexual reproduction.
As a result, pollination is required for fertilization.
Final Answer: The presence of both male and female gametes is required for fertilisation in living organisms. Pollination will not occur until the pollen grains are made available by travelling via the pollen tube to their female counterpart.
