What is the difference between self-pollination and cross-pollination?
| Self-Pollination | Cross-Pollination |
|---|---|
| Pollen transfers to the same flower/plant | Pollen transfers to another plant |
| No external agents required | Requires pollinators (e.g., insects, wind) |
| Reduces genetic diversity | Enhances genetic diversity |
| Example: Peas, sunflowers |
