POLLINATION
It occurs when fertilisation occurs. The pollen reaches the pistil and travels down it, where it fertilises the ovule.
- The ovary becomes a fruit.
- The ovule becomes a seed.
When seeds fall to the ground and germinate, a new plant grows.
TYPES OF POLLINATION
SELF POLLINATION
Pollen is transferred from the stamen of a flower to the pistil of another flower of the SAME PLANT.
CROSS POLLINATION
Pollen is transferred from the stamen of one flower to the pistil of one flower of ANOTHER PLANT of the same type.
