Cross-pollination: The process in which the pollen from the anther of the male flower of a plant comes into contact with the ovary of a female flower from another plant, resulting in pollination. Some methods/agents of cross-pollination are: .
Humans (cultivation) .
Insects (known as entomophily) .
Wind (known as anemophily) .
Animals (birds, bats) Insects were separated from animals, because of the difference in pollination method. Cross-pollination only occurs between species of closely related plants; for example, between different varieties of apple. Cross-pollination does not occur between unrelated plant genera, such as between an apple and an orange. For further elaboration on the methods of cross-pollination, see the related links section.Pollination is the transfer of the pollen grains from the anther tothe stigma of a plant. ( Full Answer )
