Pollination in angiosperms

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pollination in angiosperms makes them independent of external water for reproduction. Animal pollinators, such as bees and birds, are often involved in the process, but not always required. Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the male reproductive structures (anthers) to the female reproductive structures (stigma) of the same or a different flower. Fertilization is the fusion of the male and female gametes, leading to the formation of a zygote and eventually a seed.
