Question

a flower that has both male and female reproductive structures is shown.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 in 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 is the transfer of pollen from the male part (anther) to the female part (stigma) of the same flower. Option 2 correctly describes this process. Option 1 is incorrect as ovule transfer is not part of pollination. Option 3 is incorrect as it involves transfer between different plants (cross - pollination). Option 4 is incorrect as anther transfer within the same flower does not describe pollination.

Answer:

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