Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When the pollen moves from the anther to the stigma what occurs?
A
pollination
B
fertilization
C
respiration
D
photosynthesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pollination is the act of transferring pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma. The goal of every living organism, including plants, is to create offspring for the next generation. One of the ways that plants can produce offspring is by making seeds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Self-pollination This transfer can happen when the pollen grains literally spill onto the stigma, or the transfer can occur with the aid of a pollinator, like an insect, wind, or water. The flowers of plants that use self-pollination to reproduce are generally much smaller.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are two types of pollination: self-pollination and cross-pollination . Self-pollination is the more basic type of pollination because it only involves one flower. This type of pollination occurs when pollen grains from the anther fall directly onto the stigma of the same flower.

Detailed explanation-4: -When the pollen grain lands on the stigma, chemical communication occurs between the pollen grain and the pistil, helping the pistil recognize the right type of pollen. After acceptance, pollen begins to germinate and the pollen tube develops towards the ovary carrying the male gamete.
