-Find the definitions of the following words


Pollen

A fine powdery substance, typically yellow, consisting of microscopic grains discharged from the male part of a flower or from a male cone. Each grain contains a male gamete that can fertilize the female ovule, to which pollen is transported by the wind, insects, or other animals.

Pollinators

A pollinator is anything that helps carry pollen from the male part of the flower to the female part of the same or another flower.The movement of pollen must occur for the plant to become fertilized and produce fruits, seeds, and young plants.

Pollination

Pollination is the act of transferring pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma. The goal of every living organism, including plants, is to create offspring for the next generation. Seeds can only be produced when pollen is transferred between flowers of the same species.

Stamen

The male fertilizing organ of a flower, typically consisting of a pollen-containing anther and a filament.

Stigma

A mark of disgrace associated with a particular circumstance, quality, or person.

Self-pollinate

Self-pollination occurs when the pollen from the anther is deposited on the stigma of the same flower, or another flower on the same plant.

Cross-pollination

Cross-pollination, also called heterogamy, is a type of pollination in which sperm-laden pollen grains are transferred from the cones or flowers of one plant to egg-bearing cones or flowers of another.
