Scientific study requires a basic knowledge and understanding of ideas and concepts. This collection explains the ideas that are fundamental to Pollination.
Pollination and fertilisation are parts of the sexual reproduction process of flowering plants. Pollination brings male and female gametes together so their genetic material can combine through fertilisation.
Most flowers have the same basic parts, but there is a great variety of forms between different species. All flower parts play a role in reproduction.
Flowers have many ways to help animals or the wind to pollinate them. For example, animals visit flowers for a food reward and accidentally pollinate the flowers during their search.
