SOLUTION

  • Transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma is known as pollination. Pollination is of two types- self pollination and cross pollination.
  • Self pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from anther to stigma of the same flower or different flower of the same plant. 
  • Cross pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower of different plant. It generally occurs among plants of same species.
