1. ★staar question★

a flower that has both male and female reproductive structures is shown.
flower diagram with labels: stigma, style, filament, petal, anther with pollen grains, ovary, ovule
which statement best describes an interaction that will allow a flowering plant to reproduce by self - pollination?
○ an ovule is transferred from the ovary to a petal on a different flower
○ a pollen grain is transferred from an anther to the stigma of the same flower
○ an ovary is transferred from a flower on one plant to a flower on a different plant
○ an anther is transferred from a filament to another filament within the same flower

Explanation:

Self-pollination involves pollen transfer within the same flower. The male structure (anther) produces pollen, and the female structure (stigma) receives it. Transferring pollen from an anther to the stigma of the same flower is the key interaction for self-pollination.

Answer:

a pollen grain is transferred from an anther to the stigma of the same flower
