Question
Explain different types of pollination found in flowering plants.

Answer

Pollination is of two types:
  • Self-pollination: The transfer of pollen grains from the anther of a flower to the stigma of the same flower or another flower of the same plant is known as self-pollination or autogamy.
  • Cross pollination: The transfer of pollen grains of a flower to the stigma of another flower of a different plant of the same species is called cross pollination or allogamy.
