Question
What is a difference between pollination and fertilization in flowering plants?
A. Pollination is movement of pollen from one flower to another whereas fertilization occurs after self-pollination.
B. Pollination is movement of seeds away from the parent plant whereas fertilization is union of two seeds.
C. Pollination is movement of pollen from anther to stigma whereas fertilization depends on the growth of a pollen tube from the stigma to the ovule.
D. Pollination is movement of pollen whereas fertilization is movement of gametes from flower to flower.
