Question

what is pollination? explain its significance

Answer 1

Pollination is the act of transferring pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma. Pollination is a very important part of the life cycle of plants. Insects, birds, bats and the wind take pollen between flowering plants, which means the plants can make seeds and reproduce.
Its significance is to carry the pollen grains to the stigma for the process of fertilisation. It is of two types selfpollination (from the anther to the stigma of the same flower) and cross pollination(anther to the stigma of another flower of a different plant of same species).

Answer 2

Question :-

what is pollination? explain its significance

Answer :-

✧.* Pollination refers to the transfer of   pollen grains from the anther of a  flower to the stigma of the same or a  different flower.

✧.*  Pollination is a significant process as it  helps in fertilisation by bringing the  male gamete (male pronucleus) closer  to the female (egg) and allowing their  fusion.

✧.*  It, therefore, helps in the production of  seeds and fruits and thereby help in  reproduction as the seeds formed helps  in generation of new offsprings.

✧.*  Cross-pollination (in which the pollen  grains of one flower are transferred to  the stigma of a different flower) helps in  the introduction of new variations in  plants.
