List 5 difference between pollination and fertilization
Answers
Pollination and fertilization are different through the fact that pollination leads to fertilization. Pollination is just the process of transferring the pollen to the stigma. This can be done through either self pollination, or cross pollination. Cross pollination is when there are outside agents, like animals, people or the wind, to facilitate the transfer of pollen to stigma. While pollination also only applies to flowering plants, as they are the only ones producing pollen. Fertilization applies to almost everyone in nature and there can be no fertilization if there is no pollination.
Pollination and fertilization are two natural acts in the plant and in the animal kingdom. Just keep in mind that pollination will lead to fertilization and fertilization does not only apply to plants alone.
In brief:
• 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
