Question

Distinguish between pollination and fertilization. Explain why, pollination may occur without

fertilization but fertilization will not take place without pollination?​

Answer 1

The key difference between pollination and fertilization is that pollination refers to the transfer of pollen from anthers to the stigma of flowers while fertilization is the fusion of male and female gametes in order to produce a zygote. Pollination is followed by fertilization in flowering plants.

After pollination the egg cell fuses with the ovule which is called fertilisation. so, pollination may occur without fertilisation but fertilisation will not take place without pollination.
