The stigma of a flower receives pollen, the male flowers gamete. It is part of the female flowers reproductive system. The Stigma is the end portion of the flower and does not have an epidermis( the waxy coating on plants that helps retain water and protects the plant).
Have you ever wondered what are all those bees and hummingbirds looking for inside the flowers. Well it is a sweet substance that the plant provides for them called nectar. The nectar is advertized by the petals. When the animal goes for the nectar, the flower passes on the pollen to it. That is why if you look carefully you´ll see a yellow dust all over them. That is the pollen. Since they will need to get more nectar, the animals go searching for another flower and during that process they transfer the pollen from flower to flower. The pollen is collected by the flower´s stigma and flows down the style and into the ovary were it will fertilize the ovule. Amazing!
The Pistol of a flower is the female part of the flower, which takes the pollen through the Stigma down the Style and into the Ovary, where the Ovules/Eggs are fertilized and become seeds, which eventually make it to soil by either the death of the flower or from simply falling out. For a diagram of this go to the following page look it up on Google images. THIS ANSWER WAS PROVIDED BY: ABLACKSHADOW :P
the stamen[male] part of the plant creates a solution called pollen. a insect will come along and when it gets close some of the pollen rubs on the insect. then while it is looking around the flower some of the pollen rubs off on the pistil [female part of the plant]. pollen then go down into the ovary where the eggs are and then the eggs and the pollen combine to form seeds
Most Gymnosperms are diecious with the male and female reproductive organs on different plants. The male "flower" produces pollen and the female "flower" contains the ovary. Many female gymnosperms produce cones that house the fertilized eggs until the seeds are mature.
This tiny grain is called pollen grain.

pollination
Think of pollen as a flower's sperm. It's carried, be it by water, air, or animal, to a different flower, where it is recieved. That other flower makes seeds which are then carried to a different location, planted, and grows into a new flower. So, pollen helps make baby flowers.
The female parts of the flower are the ovary, eggs, pollen tube, pistil, and stigma. The male parts of the flower are the stamen, anthers, and pollen. The eggs of the flower are kept in the ovary; pollen from other flowers' anthers and stamens is received by the stigma and filters down through the pollen tube. The pollen fertilizes the eggs; fertilization is complete.
Ovules are what the eggs are called.
Pollen is lost in transit. Eggs are stationary, so don't get lost unless it is Valentine's day.
pollen from one flower or plant can fertilize the eggs of the same flower or the eggs of another flower on the same plant. another definition is both male and female reproductive structures.
Ok, first off: know that there are both 'complete' and 'incomplete' flowers. Incomplete flowers are comprised of only male or only female parts, whereas complete flowers have both. The female parts of the flower are the ovary, eggs, pollen tube, pistil, and stigma. The male parts of the flower are the stamen, anthers, and pollen. The eggs of the flower are kept in the ovary; pollen from other flowers' anthers and stamens is received by the stigma and filters down through the pollen tube. The pollen fertilizes the eggs; fertilization is complete.
Pollination is the male pollen being added to the flower where it can fertilize the eggs found in the female part of the flower. Then the seed is formed oh yeah
All plants have both a male part - the stamen - and a female part - the pistil. Therefore, all plants are able to take pollen from the stamen - which contains sperm - and use it to pollinate the eggs which are stored in part of the pistil. When the plant uses its own sperm to pollinate its own eggs, this is known as self pollination. However, suppose a bee or an insect lands on a flower and gets pollen on its feet. Then suppose that it lands on another flower. The pollen from the first flower will pollinate the eggs of the second flower. This is known as cross pollination, which the eggs of one plants are pollinated by pollen from a different plant.
I think that there are two processes: Pollination and Fertilization Pollination is when the pollen grains meet on the stigma (female reproductive organ) of another flower. Fertilization is when the pollen actually meets the egg in the ovary. (Sperm joins with egg)
