Question

how is the process of pollination different from fertilization?
​

Answer 1

Pollination is the process of transfer of male gametes (pollen grains) in plants from the male reproductive part (anther) to the female reproductive part (stigma). Fertilization is the process of fusion of haploid male and female gametes to form a diploid zygote to initiate the development of a new individual.

Answer 2

Answer:

Transfer of pollen grains from anther to stigma is called pollination. On the other hand, fusion of male and female gametes is called fertilization. Pollination is a physical process in which movement of pollen grains are attained by certain physical factors. Fertilization is a biological process. Ovary is the site of fertilization and embryo is the product of fertilization.
