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.
