No, fertilization and pollination are not the same thing. Pollination is the process by which pollen from the male part of a flower (anther) is transferred to the female part (stigma), enabling fertilization to potentially occur. Fertilization follows pollination and involves the fusion of sperm cells from the pollen with the ovule, resulting in the formation of a seed. Thus, pollination is a prerequisite for fertilization but they are distinct processes.
pollination; if it from the same plant (self-fertilization; self-pollination); pollen from one plant to the stigma of another plant (cross-pollination; cross-fertilization)
Fertilization.
self-fertilization or self-pollination.
No. The process of the joining of male and female reproductive cells is fertilization. The word is often misapplied to pollination which is a preliminary to fertilization in plants. The two are often confused.
Pollination is the transfer of pollen to the ovule. Although it is a prerequisite to fertilization, several events must happen before fertilization occurs. Pollination is when pollen reaches the plant by wind or insect, whereas fertilization occurs when that pollen reaches the ovule and starts the beginnings of a new organism.

Fertilization.
Pollination. Fertilization is what occurs after pollination.
No, fertilization in plants typically occurs after pollination. Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the male reproductive organ to the female reproductive organ of the same or a different plant, leading to the eventual fertilization of the ovule. Therefore, pollination is a necessary step for fertilization to occur in most plants.
Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma on the same or different flower, while fertilization is the fusion of the sperm cell with the egg cell to form a zygote. Pollination is a physical process involving the transfer of pollen, while fertilization is a biological process resulting in the formation of a new organism.

Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the male reproductive organ of a plant to the female reproductive organ, enabling fertilization. Fertilization occurs when a sperm cell from the pollen combines with an egg cell in the ovule, leading to the formation of seeds.
Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma, while fertilization is the fusion of the male gamete with the female gamete to form a zygote. In angiosperms, pollination leads to the transfer of pollen to the stigma, followed by fertilization of the egg cell within the ovule to produce a seed.
When egg cells are fertilized from the same plant is called self-pollination. Self-pollinators include certain types of fruit trees. Other types of fruit trees require two for pollination.
