Differentiate cross pollination from self pollination?

Answer 1

Self pollination is where the plant is able to pollinate without another plant. This provides much less variation in the genetics of the species from generation to generation than cross pollination which is where the pollen from one plant is carried to another plant (bees usually do this) and fertilizes the other plant. It creates more genetic diversity because the genes from both plants, which are different, are involved in the forming of the seed, not just the genes from the one self-pollinating plant.

Self pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of the same flower, another flower on the same plant, or the flower of a plant of the same clone. Cross pollination is the transfer of pollen from the flower of one plant to the flower of a plant having a different genetic constitution.

Answer 2

Self pollination:

Self-pollination is when a plant is able to reproduce asexually or that it can pollinate itself because it has both stamen and a pistil which contact each other to accomplish pollination.

Cross pollination:

Cross-pollination though is when a plant only has a stamen or a pistil in which case the plant would need another plant with the opposite thing to pollinate. Example: if a plant has only a stamen then it will have to be pollinated by another plant that has a pistil in order to reproduce. By the way if your wondering plants pollinate each other by producing nectar which attract insects which then carry pollen produced by the certain plant to another plant resulting in pollination

Answer 3

in a-sexual plants, self pollination is the act of producing offspring without any genetic material from a different unit of that species.

Cross pollination is producing offspring using the genetic material of two different units of the same species.

Pollination, of course, refers to plants that use pollen as a gamete (haploid).

Answer 4

In cross-pollination, a pollinator (such as a bee or a butterfly) takes pollen from one plant to an entirely different plant. Then, when the pollen combines with the egg of the new plant, the seeds have DNA from different plants.

In self-pollination, a plant's pollen is used to fertilize its own eggs. Thus, the seeds have the same DNA as the original plant.

Answer 5

Cross-pollination is 1 flower pollinating another flower. Self-pollination is a flower pollinating itself.

Note: Self-pollination is often called cloning, and after a few generations leads to abnormalities in the plants, such as loosing nutritional value, or becoming sterile.

Self - where pollen grains are transfered from the anthers of a flower on a plant onto the stigma of either the same flower or different flower but on the same plant.

Cross - where pollen grains are transfered from the anthers of a flower on a plant onto the stigma of another flower on a different plant but of the same species.

Answer 7

The process of pollination from same flower is called self-pollination.

the process of pollination from another flower of same breed is called cross-pollination.
