9.3.3 Distinguish between pollination, fertilization and seed dispersal. •



Pollination o

The placement of pollen onto the stigma of a carpel (female reproductive organ in plants) by means of wind or by animal carriers

o

A prerequisite to fertilization

o

It is the first event to occur

o

The movement of pollen onto the stigma of a carpel by a carrier

o

The process which transfers the pollen grains, which contain the male gametes to the stigma

o

Enables fertilization and sexual reproduction

Fertilization o

It is the process that occurs after pollination

o

The union of haploid gametes to produce a diploid gamete

o

Happens within the ovary of the plant 



This gamete is now the seed produced by the plant

Seed Dispersal o

The action of the seed moving from its place to origin to another site where it will grow

o

The movement or transport of seeds away from the parent plant

o

Plants are immobile, thus they depend on different dispersal vectors, including both abiotic and biotic

o

There are 5 main modes of dispersal 

Wind •



dandelions

Water •

Rain
