If the pollen lands on stigma of the same flower, it is called self-pollination. When the pollen of a flower lands on the stigma of another flower of the same plant, or that of a different plant of the same kind, it is called cross-pollination.

Self-Pollination

Some plant do not need outside help to transfer the pollen grains.

They are able to pollinate themselves.Pollen is transferred from the anther to the stigma of the same flower or to the stigma of another flower of same plant.

Cross-Pollination

In most plants,transfer of pollens occurs through cross-pollination.

In this process,the pollen from one flower is transferred to the stigma of another flower

on a different plant of the same kind.

Which type of pollination occurs when pollen from the stamen of one flower pollinates a flower of the same plant?

Pollination is the process by which pollen is transferred in plants, thereby enabling fertilization and sexual reproduction. Pollen grains, which contain the male gametes (sperm) to where the female gamete(s) are contained within the carpel;[1] in gymnosperms the pollen is directly applied to the ovule itself. The receptive part of the carpel is called a stigma in the flowers of angiosperms. The receptive part of the gymnosperm ovule is called the micropyle. Pollination is a necessary step in the reproduction of flowering plants, resulting in the production of offspring that are genetically diverse.The study of pollination brings together many disciplines, such as botany, horticulture, entomology, and ecology. The pollination process as an interaction between flower and vector was first addressed in the 18th century by Christian Konrad Sprengel. It is important in horticulture and agriculture, because fruiting is dependent on fertilisation, which is the end result of pollination.


In many flowers the pistils and stamens reach maturity at different times considering what you know about pollination why would this be an advantage to this plant?

the advantage, or the scheme, is to be pollinated with pollen from another plant. -Ben Newcombe-


What kind of relationship exists between the hummingbirds and the flower plants?

It is a mutual relationship. The flower needs the hummingbird to drink nectar and get a dusting with the flower's pollen, so ensuring there is cross-pollination as the bird moves from flower to flower.

What is the difference from self and cross pollination?

Cross pollination is when the wind or a insect carries pollen from one flower to another. Self pollination is when a flower produces pollen and uses it in asexual reproduction.
