The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Pollination**: Pollination is a crucial process in the reproductive cycle of flowering plants. It involves the transfer of pollen grains, which are the male gametes, from the male part of the flower (anther) to the female part (stigma). 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1**: "The essence of anther" - This option does not describe pollination. It only refers to a part of the flower. - **Option 2**: "The transfer of pollen grains from anther to stigma" - This accurately describes the process of pollination, where pollen moves from the male reproductive part to the female reproductive part. - **Option 3**: "The transfer of pollen grains from anther to stigma of the same flower" - This describes self-pollination, which is a specific type of pollination, but does not encompass the entire definition of pollination. - **Option 4**: "Formation of pollination" - This option is incorrect as it does not define what pollination is. 3. **Conclusion**: After analyzing all the options, the correct definition of pollination is given in **Option 2**, which is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma. **Final Answer**: The term pollination signifies the transfer of pollen grains from anther to stigma (Option 2). ---
