 Pollination: It is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of a

flower.

 Pollination can be self pollination or cross pollination.
 Self pollination happens when the pollen grains are transferred from the
anther of one flower and reach the stigma of the same flower or another
flower of the same plant.
 Cross pollination occurs when the pollen grains reach the stigma of a flower
on another plant.
 Agents of pollination are insects, birds, wind and water.
 Pollination results in the production of seeds.
