Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary purpose of pollination in flowering plants?
Correct Answer: Pollination helps in fertilization and seed development.
  • Step 1: Understand that flowering plants have male and female parts.
  • Step 2: The male part produces pollen, which contains sperm cells.
  • Step 3: The female part has a stigma that receives the pollen.
  • Step 4: Pollination is the process of transferring pollen from the male part (anther) to the female part (stigma).
  • Step 5: Once pollen lands on the stigma, it can fertilize the egg cells inside the ovary.
  • Step 6: Fertilization leads to the development of seeds, which can grow into new plants.
