    • There are two types of pollination mentioned in the text: self-pollination and cross-pollination.
    • The reproductive structure found in flowering plants is the flower.
    • The function of the "male" gametophyte in flowers is to produce pollen.
    • Pollination is the term used to describe the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of a flower.
