Question

when two separate parent plants are involved in the pollination process, it is known as______.
a. cross - pollination
b. self - pollination
c. bisexual pollination
d. asexual pollination

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall pollination types: Cross - pollination is when pollen is transferred between two different parent plants. Self - pollination is within the same plant. “Bisexual pollination” is not a standard term, and asexual pollination is incorrect as pollination involves sexual reproduction. So the correct term for pollination between two separate parent plants is cross - pollination.

Answer:

a. cross - pollination
