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.

 Pollination refers to the transfer of pollen grains from an anther to stigma. Fertilization refers to the fusion of male and female gametes. Pollination is a physical process. Fertilization is cellular, genetic, biochemical process. Pollination can be achieved by various agents such as wind, insect etc. Fertilization is assisted by the plant itself.

Answer 2

pollination - it is the process of transfer of pollen grains from anther to the stigma 
fertilisation - the fusion of male and female gametes is called fertilisation.
