True
Study Notes
Pollination and Germination
- If a pollen grain from one flower reaches a flower of a different species, it will not result in fertilization.
- When a pollen grain reaches a flower of the same species, it can result in fertilization.
- The outcome of cross-pollination is fertilization, which occurs when a pollen grain of a flower reaches a flower of a different species.
- Cross-pollination occurs when a pollen grain from one flower reaches a flower of a different species.
- Germination is the process by which a seed sprouts and begins to grow.
- Pollen grains from the anther becoming germs is not a part of the germination process.
