When Mendel conducted his experiments, he needed to transfer pollen grains from a male reproductive organ to a female reproductive organ in a plant. What is this process called?
Correct answer: A. Cross pollination
- A. Cross pollination
- B. Heredity
- C. Monohybrid
- D. Recessive
Explanation
The transfer of pollen grains from the anther of one plant to the stigma of another different plant is called cross-pollination. It is also called xenogamy. It occurs with the help of external agents called pollinating agents.

About Inheritance
Mendel's laws explain segregation, independent assortment and the prediction of genetic ratios using alleles, genotypes and phenotypes. The chapter also covers linked genes, recombination and crossing over during meiosis, then applies pedigree reasoning to X-linked recessive traits, which show different inheritance patterns in males and females.
