Question

How is the process of pollination different from fertilisation?

Answer 1

• Pollination is a process flowering plants only undergo. It is the transfer of pollen to the plant’s stigma. The process can be done by the plant itself or through outside agents.

• Fertilization is basically the joining of sperm and egg. For flowering plants, there can be no fertilization if there is no pollination. However, fertilization applies to almost every organism in this world.

Answer 2

Firstly, pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther (male organ of the flower) to the stigma (female organ of the flower) of the same or different flower. Secondly, fertilization occurs once the pollen grain reaches the stigma, it produces a pollen tube, which grows down through the style to the ovary.
