Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A bee buzzes inside a flower to drink some nectar. While there it touches the stamen. Later the bee goes to another flower and comes into contact with the flower’s pistil. Which process of reproduction is this helping with?
A
pollination and fertilization
B
plant growth and fertilization
C
germination and pollination
D
seed dispersal and germination
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Flowers rely on bees to cross-pollinate their female plants. When bees feed on the pollen, their body picks up excess via their pollen-collecting hairs, which is then released when they land. Pollen act as the flower’s seed, which is mandatory for the survival of that flower species.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mutualism, on the other hand, is a relationship between two species where both benefit from the association. In mutualistic relationships between flowers and their pollinators, flowers benefit by having their pollen efficiently distributed to other flowers of the same species, allowing them to reproduce.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pollination is the act of transferring pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pollination is one of the most fascinating processes in the natural world. Pollination is how flowering plants reproduce. The process involves the transfer of pollen from the male parts to the female parts of the same or another plant.
