| 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. |
