Want this question answered?
Self pollination does not require pollinating agency and it is accompalished with lesser amount of material (pollen grains) but selfpollination leads to homozygosity and sometimes sterility due to lethal genes. Cross pollination helps in genetic advancement and evolution of hybrids and it is preferred by majority of plants. Although cross pollination reqiures plenty of pollenating material and presence of pollinators.
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.
The right answer is "cross" or "cross pollination" or "cross-pollination"
It is known as pollination (sometimes as cross-pollination).
The purpose of cross-pollination and self-pollination are to perform reproduction so off spring can be produced.
In cross pollination there is wastage of pollen grains , but in self pollination there is no wastage of pollen grains.
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.
cross and self pollination
The two main types of pollination are self (or autogamous) pollination and cross (or heterogamous) pollination. Self pollination - is when pollination is tansfer from the anther to the stigma of the same flower. Cross pollintion - is when pollination is transfer from the anther to the stigma of another flower
Cross pollination or cross fertilisation.
In cross pollination there is wastage of pollen grains , but in self pollination there is no wastage of pollen grains.
There are 2 types of pollination 1. Self pollination. 2. Cross pollination.
