Question

If the pollen of rose is dusted on the stigma of lily plant , will it result in fertilization and why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Flowering plants are able to pollinate other plants within the same species, that's why pollen of rose can't germinate on stigma of lily. It is also dependent on the pollen-pistil interaction in which pistil recognize pollen of its species.

Answer 2

Answer:

No, it will not fertilize.

Explanation:

It will not fertilize because the pollen grains of a plant should be received by the stigma of the same plant species otherwise, if the stigma is of another plant and pollen grains of another, then the pollen grains will dry and fall off.

For e.g. - Pollen grains from Rose to Stigma of Rose = Fertilization

               but,

               Pollen grains of Rose to Stigma of Lilly = No fertilization, grains will become dry and fall off..
