NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Pollination is the act of transferring pollen grains from the anther, i.e., the male part of a flower, onto the pistil, i.e., the female part of a flower. The transfer between male and female parts can be within the same flower or to a different flower of the same species.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pollination is simply the transfer of pollen grains from an anther to a stigma.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pollination is an essential part of plant reproduction. Pollen from a flower’s anthers (the male part of the plant) rubs or drops onto a pollinator. The pollinator then take this pollen to another flower, where the pollen sticks to the stigma (the female part). The fertilized flower later yields fruit and seeds.

Detailed explanation-4: -As pollinators reach for the nectar in flowers, they rub against the pollen and it often sticks to them. As they move between flowers, the pollinator brushes off onto other flowers. This is a strategy plants use for pollen to travel and fertilization to occur, since plants are rooted in place.
