NOTES FOR GENETICS SELF POLLINATION: When the pollen from the anther falls on the stigma of the same flower it results in self -pollination or self- fertilization. For example, a red rose will self-fertilize and result in red offspring only. CROSS POLLINATION: when the pollen from the anther falls on the stigma of a different flower of the same specie it results in cross pollination or cross fertilization. For example, in case of red flower crossed with a white flower, the resultant off springs could be white, pink or red. It results in more varieties and genetic combinations.
