Pollination

What is Pollination?
Pollination is the transfer of pollen to stigma, ovule, flower, or plant to allow fertilization.
Why is it Necessary?
Pollination is important because it leads to production of fruits we can eat, and seeds that will create more plants.

Types of Pollination?
Two types of pollination, called self-pollination and cross-pollination

  • Self pollination- It is the more basic type of pollination because it only involves one plant.
  • Cross-pollination- Pollination of a flower or plant with pollen from another flower or plant.
  • Water-pollination- This type of pollination occurs when pollen drifts on water to contact flowers directly, thereby allowing certain plants to reproduce.
  • Air-pollination- 
  • Insect-pollination- Is a form of pollination whereby pollen or plants, especially but not only of flowering plants, is distributed by insects.
