Differences between pollination and fertilization.

Answer 1

	Pollination	Fertilization
1.	Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of a flower.	Fertilization is the fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote.
2.	It is a physical process that brings male and female gametes close together.	It is a biological process that leads to the actual union of gametes.
3.	Pollination occurs before fertilization.	Fertilization occurs after pollination.
4.	Pollination usually requires external agents like wind, water, or insects.	Fertilization does not require external agents; it occurs inside the ovule.
5.	Pollination helps in the transfer of pollen, enabling fertilization to occur.	Fertilization does not require external agents; it occurs inside the ovule.
