Q: What is the primary purpose of pollination in flowering plants?
Solution: Pollination is essential for the transfer of pollen from the male anther to the female stigma, enabling fertilization and subsequent seed development.
Steps: 6
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.
