Self-fertilization and cross-fertilization are the same as asexual and sexual reproduction. Self-fertilization uses itself to fertilize, which cross-fertilization takes from another plant to make a new generation of the plant.

(Referring to plants) self-fertilization occurs when the pollen produced by a plant fertilizes that same plant, maintaining or decreasing genetic diversity in the offspring. Cross-fertilization is when the pollen travels to a different plant, increasing genetic diversity in the next generation.

Why is the stigma a different height than the anthers?

The anthers and stigma occur at different heights to prevent self fertilization and to encourage cross fertilization.


What is the disadvantage of self-fertilization of flowers?

A limit to the possibilities for diversity is the disadvantage of self fertilization of flowers. Self fertilization draws upon the particular flower's gene base and nothing else or more. It's with other forms of fertilization such as cross and manual pollination whereby other characteristics such as color and disease resistance may be introduced.

What is the difference between self-pollenation and cross-pollenation?

self pollination means transfer of pollen from the anthers to the stigma of the same flower. Cross pollination means transfer of pollen from the anthers of one flower to the stigma of another flower.


What occurs between pollination and fertilization?

germination and growth of the pollen until it reaches the overy at which point fertilization occers. it is also the phase in which self incompatability plays its role


Fertilization of an egg cells by pollen from different plant?

Self-Pollinationits actually cross pollination


What is the difference between cross polination and self polination?

Some plants have both male and female reproductive organs. If the plants pollen is used to pollinate itself, it is known as self pollination. If the pollen is taken by a bee for example to another plant, it is known as a cross pollination.


What is Different between self pollination and cross pollination?

In cross pollination there is wastage of pollen grains , but in self pollination there is no wastage of pollen grains.
