Which process involves pollen transfer from anther to stigma?

• A. Germination
• B. Fertilisation
• C. Pollination
• D. Meiosis

Answer: (C)

Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma. The anther produces pollen, and the stigma is the receptive surface on the pistil. When pollen lands on a compatible stigma, it can germinate and grow a pollen tube toward the ovule, leading into fertilisation. This sequence distinguishes pollination (movement of pollen) from germination (pollen beginning to grow after landing), fertilisation (fusion of male and female gametes), and meiosis (cell division that forms gametes).
