Pollination Fertilization
Pollen grains are transferred from the anther to the stigma of a flower. It is the result of the union of male and female gametes.
Achieved by natural forces such as wind, water, and animals. Achieved by the growth of the pollen tube so that the male gamete reaches the female germ cells.
This results in fertilization. Seeds are formed as a result of this process.
Pollination is an external process that occurs in the female’s ovary. The ovary is the site of fertilization and pollination occurs externally.
