Self-pollination:
- Self-pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of a similar flower.
- The pollen grains are produced in small quantities.
- This takes place through contact, wind, and gravity.
- Self-pollination does not bring variations.
- Example - Wheat, pea, orchids, peaches, and mulberry, etc.
Cross-pollination:
- Cross-pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther of one flower to the stigma of a flower of another plant.
- The pollen grains are produced in large quantities.
- It occurs through water, wind birds, insects, and bats.
- Cross-pollination produces variations.
- Example - Salvia, plums, maples, daffodil, etc.
