Solution 1
- Pollination is the process of transfer of pollens from anther to stigma. It occurs with the help of certain pollinators such as air, water, birds, or some insects.
- Fertilization is the fusion of the male and female gametes. It occurs inside the ovule and leads to the formation of a zygote.
Solution 2

| In this, the cells are not attached. | In this, the male and female cells are joined. |
| Usually, one has to wait for carriers to complete this action. | This action is transactional. |
