What are the different types of pollination?

There are two main types of pollination: self-pollination and cross-pollination. Would you like to know more about each?

Yes, please explain self-pollination.

Self-pollination occurs when pollen from the same flower fertilizes its own ovules. It's common in plants like peas.

And what about cross-pollination?

Cross-pollination involves pollen from one flower fertilizing the ovules of another flower. This often leads to greater genetic diversity.

What are some examples of plants that rely on cross-pollination?

Many fruit plants, like apples and cherries, rely on cross-pollination for better fruit production.
