### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Introduction to Pollination**: - Pollination is the process where pollen grains (male gametes) are transferred to the stigma of a flower, leading to fertilization when the pollen grain germinates and forms a pollen tube that reaches the ovum (egg cell). - There are two main types of pollination: self-pollination and cross-pollination. 2. **Importance of Cross-Pollination**: - Cross-pollination is essential as it promotes genetic diversity, which helps prevent inbreeding depression that can occur with continuous self-pollination. ...
