Question
How is the process of pollination different from fertilization?
Solution 1
- Pollination is the process of transfer of pollens from anther to stigma. It occurs with the help of certain pollinators such as air, water, birds, or some insects.
- Fertilization is the fusion of the male and female gametes. It occurs inside the ovule and leads to the formation of a zygote.
Solution 2
| Pollination | Fertilization |
| The transport of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma is called pollination. | The funion of male and female games is called fertilization. |
| In this, the cells are not attached. | In this, the male and female cells are joined. |
| Usually, one has to wait for carriers to complete this action. | This action is transactional. |

When an insect sits on the flower of a plant then some particles A present in the top of little stalks in the flower attach to its body hair. When this insect now sits on the flower of another similar plant, then particles A attached to the hair of insect are put on the top of a flask-shaped organ at the centre of flower. The particle A grows a long tube b from the top of flask-shaped organ through which C moves down and reaches the bottom part of flask-shaped organ. Here C fuses with the nucleus of d contained in structure E. the fusion of C and D forms a new cell f which grows and develops into a seed of the plant.
