Lesson: Chapter 14 — Continuity of Life

14.2. Pollination 1 of 5

Question 1

What is pollination?

The right answer is the one marked above.

The deposition of mature pollen on the stigma of a flower of the same species. It is transport, and it is only the first half of getting a male gamete to a female one.

The other three all come after pollination, in order: the pollen tube growing down the style, fertilisation, and then the seeds. Confusing pollination with fertilisation is the usual slip.
