  1. (i) Differentiate between self-pollination and cross-pollination.

    • Self-pollination: Transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of the same flower or another flower on the same plant.
    • Cross-pollination: Transfer of pollen from the anther of one plant to the stigma of a flower on a different plant of the same species.

    (ii) A – Stigma: Receives pollen grains during pollination.

    B – Style: Provides a passage for pollen tube to reach the ovary.
