Detailed Pollination Process
1. Flower Structures:
The stamen (male) produces pollen in the anthers. The pistil (female) receives pollen on the stigma.
2. Pollen Release:
When mature, anthers release pollen grains through dehiscence (opening).
3. Pollen Transfer:
Pollen is carried by wind, insects, or other pollinators to the stigma.
4. Fertilization:
Pollen grows a tube down the style to deliver sperm cells to the ovules in the ovary.
