Separate movement of pollen from fusion of gametes.
Learn the idea
Pollination
In flowering plants, pollination transfers pollen to a receptive stigma.
Fertilization
Fertilization involves fusion of gametes; it is not the same event as pollination.
Seeds
Seeds contain an embryo and supporting structures that vary among plants.
Dispersal
Seed dispersal moves offspring away from the parent and occurs through several mechanisms.
Explain without looking
- Why is a seed not the same thing as pollen?
- Which conclusion is justified by 30 of 40 tested seeds germinating?
