If the pollen lands on stigma of the same flower, it is called self-pollination. When the pollen of a flower lands on the stigma of another flower of the same plant, or that of a different plant of the same kind, it is called cross-pollination.

Which type of pollination occurs when pollen from the stamen of one flower pollinates a flower of the same plant?

Pollination is the process by which pollen is transferred in plants, thereby enabling fertilization and sexual reproduction. Pollen grains, which contain the male gametes (sperm) to where the female gamete(s) are contained within the carpel;[1] in gymnosperms the pollen is directly applied to the ovule itself. The receptive part of the carpel is called a stigma in the flowers of angiosperms. The receptive part of the gymnosperm ovule is called the micropyle. Pollination is a necessary step in the reproduction of flowering plants, resulting in the production of offspring that are genetically diverse.The study of pollination brings together many disciplines, such as botany, horticulture, entomology, and ecology. The pollination process as an interaction between flower and vector was first addressed in the 18th century by Christian Konrad Sprengel. It is important in horticulture and agriculture, because fruiting is dependent on fertilisation, which is the end result of pollination.


In many flowers the pistils and stamens reach maturity at different times considering what you know about pollination why would this be an advantage to this plant?

Having the pistils and stamens mature at different times can help prevent self-pollination, promoting genetic diversity in offspring. It also increases the likelihood of cross-pollination, which can enhance plant fitness through the introduction of new genetic variations. Additionally, staggering the maturity of reproductive organs can help ensure successful pollination by attracting different pollinators at various times.


Process of inheritance in humans differ from that of plants?

In humans, inheritance is typically controlled by the interaction of two sets of chromosomes from each parent, leading to diverse combinations of genes in offspring. In plants, inheritance can involve a variety of mechanisms, such as self-pollination, cross-pollination, and a combination of asexual and sexual reproduction. Additionally, plants can exhibit different patterns of inheritance, such as incomplete dominance or cytoplasmic inheritance, that are less commonly observed in humans.


How is pollination by ants called?

Pollination by ants is called myrmecophily. Ants may carry pollen on their bodies as they move from flower to flower, aiding in the pollination process.


What kind of relationship exists between the hummingbirds and the flower plants?

It is a mutual relationship. The flower needs the hummingbird to drink nectar and get a dusting with the flower's pollen, so ensuring there is cross-pollination as the bird moves from flower to flower.

What are the 2 different methods of 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.

What is the difference from self and cross pollination?

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.

Self pollination is when a flower pollinates itself with its own pollen and cross pollination is when a flower uses another flower's pollen.


What is the name of the transfer of pollen from the stamina to the pistil?

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)


How many types of pollination are there?

There are two main types of pollination: self-pollination, where the pollen is transferred from the anther to the stigma of the same plant, and cross-pollination, where the pollen is transferred between two plants of the same species.
