Introduction:

Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther (male part) of a flower to the stigma (female part) of a flower. Pollination occurs within the same plant (self-pollination) and where the female and male parts are present on the separate flowers or plants (cross-pollination). The agents of pollination may be insects, air, water, or birds. Pollination contributes to the production of offspring (seeds).
