The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Gametes in Flowering Plants**: In flowering plants, both male and female gametes are non-motile. Male gametes are found in pollen grains, while female gametes are located in the ovule. 2. **Identifying the Need for Fertilization**: For fertilization to occur, the male gamete (from the pollen grain) must come into contact with the female gamete (in the ovule). Since both gametes are non-motile, they require a mechanism to facilitate this contact. 3. **Evaluating Possible Methods**: The question presents several options for how these gametes come together: - **Water**: This is not a method for bringing gametes together in flowering plants. - **Air**: This is also not a direct method for fertilization. - **Pollination**: This is a process where pollen grains (male gametes) are transferred from the anther (part of the stamen) to the stigma (part of the pistil) of a flower, allowing fertilization to occur. - **Apomixis**: This is a form of asexual reproduction where fertilization does not occur, making it an incorrect option for this question. 4. **Conclusion**: The correct method for bringing together the non-motile male and female gametes in flowering plants for fertilization is **pollination**. **Final Answer**: Pollination is the method to bring male and female gametes together for fertilization in flowering plants. ---
