Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can describe the processes of pollination and fertilisation in flowering plants.

Show transcript
Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the male anther to the female stigma. There are two types of pollination; self-pollination and cross-pollination. The latter increases variation in a species. Pollen grains can be transferred by the wind, water or by insects. Fertilisation is the fusion of the nuclei from the male and the female gametes. A zygote grows into an embryo and then a new plant.
