The transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of a flower on another plant of the same species is called:

ASelf-pollination
BTriple fusion
CParthenocarpy
DCross pollination
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Cross pollination
1. Self-pollination (autogamy) is transfer of pollen within the same flower or same plant. 2. Cross pollination is transfer of pollen from a flower's anther to the stigma of a flower on another plant of the same species. 3. Examples include apples, grapes and plum. 4. Parthenocarpy is seedless fruit formation and triple fusion is a fertilization event, so both are ruled out. _Source: Samacheer Kalvi (TN SCERT) Class 10 Science, Unit 17 Reproduction in Plants and Animals "Cross pollination", p.254_
