Question

Explain the difference between self pollination and cross pollination​

Answer 1

~ Self-pollination occurs when the pollen from the anther is deposited on the stigma of the same flower or another flower on the same plant.

~ Cross-pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower on a different individual of the same species.

Answer 2

When a flower has both a stigma and an ovary, it has both components in order to pollinate itself. However, if it only has an ovary, it must be pollinated by pollen from the stigma of another flower.
