Pollination between two flowers borne on two different plants of the same species is called:
ASelf-pollination
BCross-pollination
CDouble fertilization
DVegetative propagation
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Cross-pollination
1. Pollination within one flower or between two flowers of the same plant is self-pollination, ruling out A.
2. Pollination between flowers on two different plants of the same species is cross-pollination.
3. Double fertilization is a later fusion event inside the ovule, not a pollen transfer, so C is ruled out.
4. Vegetative propagation is an asexual method, so D is ruled out.
