Question
How is the process of pollination different from fertilization?
Advertisements
Solution 1
Pollination is the transfer of male gametes onto the female gametes, while fertilisation is the fusion of these two gametes.
Solution 2
Pollination is the process of transferring pollen grains from the anther of the stamen to the receptive stigma of the carpel, while fertilization involves the fusion of male and female gametes, leading to the formation of a zygote.

| When an insect sits on the flower of a plant then somene particles A present in the top of little stalks in the flower attach to its body hair. When this insect now sits on the flower of another similar plant, then particles A attached to the hair of insect are put on the top of a flask-shaped organ at the centre of flower. The particle A grows a long tube B from the top of flask-shaped organ through which C moves down and reaches the bottom part of flask-shaped organ. Here C fuses with the nucleus of D contained in structure E. The fusion of C and D forms a new cell F which grows and develops into a seed of the plant. |
